M&S Broughty Ferry

Transition Dundee is a climate action organisation aiming to help our local community lower their carbon footprint, whilst helping those in need through our various efforts. We have a re-use shop, The Wardrobe @112 Nethergate Dundee, we offer skill-sharing workshops and events (based on carbon lowering activities such as repairing skills, how to cut down your plastic use and so on) and we aim to help cut down on and raise awareness of food waste through the ‘Dundee West End Community Fridge’.

Saving waste is our aim. We are a charity trying to save food waste from going to landfill by picking up surplus & diverting back into the local community. We have a location at 5 High Street, Monifieth. DD5 4DA which houses fridges, freezer, shelves etc for safe food storage. We have a group of volunteers to man the fridge and also to collect the food from supermarkets etc. All volunteers are trained as per Environmental Health guidelines. There is a donation box but we do not charge for any food items. We have a Facebook page and we have had the local newspaper down on opening after relocating from smaller premises. We have received funds from Angus Council, Hubbub, Monifieth South Angus Church, Rotary Club of Monifieth & District, Seagreen, Northwood Charitable Trust, Tesco and Sainsbury’s. Alongside our fridge, within our premises we also run a small successful charity shop.

Boomerang Community Centre SCIO is the only community hub in Stobswell, Dundee – one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in Scotland. Each week, we welcome people of all ages, offering food provision, social activities, youth and family work, volunteering opportunities, and vital interpersonal connection. We deliver a diverse and joined-up programme of support that meets people where they are and provides opportunities to grow, connect, and thrive: • Food support – Our Community Larder provides affordable access to fresh and staple foods; the Cosy Café offers a warm, welcoming environment where people can eat, relax, and meet friends; and our daily Community Lunch Club brings people together around the table, tackling both food insecurity and social isolation. • Wellbeing & engagement – A varied timetable of activities supports physical, emotional, and mental health. From art, music and creative expression to fitness classes (tai chi, chair yoga, Boccia), and from mental health support groups to our book club and social gatherings, these opportunities give people structure, purpose, and joy. • Youth & family support – Families benefit from our popular Stay & Play sessions for toddlers and parents, while older children and young people engage in youth groups, youth arts, and holiday provision. We also work with local schools on placements for disengaged students, offering volunteering and attainment opportunities, and we are proud to deliver a fully-funded Duke of Edinburgh programme, opening up experiences and skills development for those who might otherwise miss out. • Community events – Seasonal fayres, open days, and themed fundraisers not only generate income but also celebrate local identity, bring residents together, and showcase local talent and creativity. • Partnership services – By hosting services such as health checks, benefits and housing advice, addiction recovery support, cultural exchange, and adult learning opportunities, we act as a gateway, making professional help accessible in a trusted, local setting.
