"Nobody moves to a new neighbourhood knowing anyone. But every single community that's ever felt like home started with someone deciding to say hello."

— Sarah, Community Lead, Bertha Park Residents Group

From your neighbours

Fiona Mum of three, Riverside Drive

"When we moved in eighteen months ago, I didn't know a single neighbour. Now I know half the street. The litter picks are only half about the litter."

Euan Retired, Almond View

"I've been trying to get a bench put in by the river path for two years. These lot actually wrote the letter. Council said yes last month."

About Bertha Park

Bertha Park is one of Scotland's newest communities — a purpose-built neighbourhood on the north-western edge of Perth, where the River Almond curves through farmland that's spent the last decade becoming home.

We're around 1,200 households and counting. Young families, people moving closer to the city, couples trading a tenement stair for a garden. We have a primary school that's still finding its feet, a community hub that's still finding its programme, and a river path that's already found its way into everyone's morning routines.

The Bertha Park Residents Group started in someone's living room. It moved to the hub. Now it's the place where neighbours become friends, where small problems get solved before they become big ones, and where the quiet satisfaction of community is quietly built.

We're not affiliated with the council, the developer, or any political organisation. We're just neighbours who decided to show up.

Get involved

There's no membership form. No committee to join if you don't want to. Just three easy ways in, starting wherever you are.

Come to something

Any event, any size. The litter pick. A meeting. The seed swap. Show up once and you'll recognise ten faces the next time you're at the school gate.

Share something

Notice something? Planning application, lost dog, free furniture on the kerb? Drop us a message at hello@berthapark.org.uk and we'll get it on the board.

Help run something

We're a small team running on good intentions and decent biscuits. If you've got two hours a month and a willingness to send the occasional email, you're overqualified.

The next meeting is Wednesday 16 April at 7pm, Hub Room 2.
No agenda, no obligation. Just your neighbourhood.
