Argos Dundee Overgate

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’.

Our well-established Community Food Larder, based in Lochee at Whorterbank, provides free and low-cost groceries and is: • Open to everyone • No referral required (or details needed to be given access). • People have the ability to choose what items they require. • Sustainable middle ground between traditional foodbanks and supermarkets The aim is to promote dignity, ownership and choice to our members, and hope that by offering a larder to our community we are supporting other organisations, as well as reaching out to others in our community. We also run a friendly, sociable café area where members can enjoy hot and cold refreshments as well as access support services, such as: • Energy advice, citizens advice, welfare rights and more… We hope we have created a friendly, non-judgemental environment where people feel safe and comfortable to ask for help when needed.

Helping to eliminate food waste and tackle poverty in the Douglas area of Dundee. Bases in the Douglas Community Centre.
