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.

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’.

We are a local authority nursery who offer a service for children aged 2-5 in the Langlees area in Falkirk Council. We have 30, 2’s places and 80 3-5 spaces. We are in one of the most deprived areas in Falkirk, as such we see a lot of families who are experiencing difficulties relating to food insecurity and poverty. We would love to work together with our local community to support our children and families in need. We have set up a small food bank to support the children and families in our community, We are keen to link in with surplus food donations to support the community of Langlees together? We would be so grateful to receive any foodbank, toiletry and related surplus item donations you may have. We have also started a weekly cooking programme to offer families support in cooking on a budget and building confidence in cooking skills. Helping to upskill families to cook healthy meals and save money.
