Lidl Dundee Lochee

The Kirkton Community Food Larder is set up fully by a team of volunteers, to enable people from the Strathmartine area of Dundee an alternative cheap source of essential groceries. At a time when we are in Dundee seeing headlines of being second highest in UK for child poverty and areas of multiple deprivation, we see more and more great volunteers giving up time money and resources to help combat this, however we do not operate like food banks as we recognise in work poverty so no referrals are needed everyone is welcome and we hope to grow this to a community fridge and offer school meal replacement service over summer and other school holidays if we can.

We provide a Coffee Morning combined with a Community Fridge Our clients can spend time chatting, socialising and enjoying a cuppa with home baking when available then help with reducing food waste by taking and using the surplus foods we have on offer. Our visitors and volunteers can support each other socially and also benefit from getting help with the weekly food shop

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’.
