Our Projects in Broughty Ferry

  • Forma Mentis

  • Youth Employability Programme

    The Broughty Ferry Youth Employability Programme has developed from research showing that youth unemployment is rising in Dundee and referrals are rising in the area for mental health and neurodivergent support for young people. We aim to provide young people between the ages of 16-25 with the opportunity to develop new skills and take on new challenges. This project works in partnership with businesses in Broughty Ferry to provide a paid apprenticeship for 6 months. During this 6 months the young people get support from a Mental Health nurse, Social worker and Peer support. They are also able to accomplish a Youth achievement award with our Development worker.

    The young people take a lead on our open days and events and are developing neurodivergent support for Dundee as well as a Road Map of services.

  • Sakura Cafe & Community Hub

    Sakura will be based in Dawson Park and will be used as both a cafe and a community hub.  The cafe will provide takeaway and sit-in and also offer a food larder and will open out onto the community garden which will then be accessible at weekends.  

    The community hub will be open two days a week and provide a space for the community to use for groups and activities as well as offering drop-in sessions from various organisations and services.
