This week we celebrate 5 years as Dundee Community Grants.
I started this project after covid closed down my previous shop.
I knew we had built up a great business as the previous charity so came up with the idea of a shop where the profits go to help local groups, charities and good causes and I made that dream come true. It wasn't always easy, 2 months after opening we were closed down again with the second lockdown, but we got through it and here we are 5 years in and I am very proud to say we have given out over £50,000 in grants to projects in and around Dundee.
Massive thanks go to Wellgate Shopping Centre who were/are such a support to us.
I couldn't do any of this without my wonderful team, they are an incredible bunch and I thank them all past, present and those sadly no longer with us.
Lastly, a huge, huge thank you to the folks of Dundee who have supported us all the way through donating and Shopping. Thanks to every one of you.
Here's to the future!
