🙌 ALMOST THERE 🙌

We are so close to hitting our first milestone in our fundraiser to save ScrapThursdays! Thank you so much to everyone who has shared our story and donated so far. 🫶

Your donations will help us to continue our weekly open session for the people of Dundee to access support, connect with others and be open to opportunities to grow. We provide emergency food support, run a community wardrobe and provide creative activities all in the hopes of tackling isolation and financial struggles.

We’d love to hit £2000 by Friday! If you can, skip the sweet treat or fancy coffee this week and give a few pounds to the local community! 🤍

School is back which means it's the end of our summer Family Club! 🌿🫟

Over the past 8 weeks we've brought families from all across Dundee together to connect, create and play. We've worked with some outstanding partners to help bring all this together. 🤝

National Literacy Trust introduced us to new stories and ever family took a new book home with them whilst also having the chance to get creative! 📚

The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum we learned about how sonar can affect sea life, like whales and we made models of lots of different creatures using clay! 🐋

Dundee Contemporary Arts artists helped us to explore printing techniques.

Dundee Science Centre invited us along to see the "Fact of Fiction" science show which exploded some myths about science!

We couldn't do any of this without the support of our partners, our team and especially our volunteers - special shout out to Shamshad who planned science experiments for our group at the Wellgate Centre.

Starting Tuesday 26th we will hold a

💧 flash flood sale! 💧

✨ Big thanks to our amazing staff and volunteers who rallied together to save the shop from even more damage. What a team! ✨

🚨 NEWSFLASH: Scrap Thursday is at risk and we need your help.
👉 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/7e2d0a4d

Scrap Thursday is about belonging, wellbeing, and quietly rebuilding resilience, side by side.
One cuppa at a time.

No referrals. No judgement. Just a warm welcome and maybe a wonky banana or two. 🍌

Every week, people show up:
✨ For a chat
✨ For connection
✨ For a breather from the noise of life or the silence of loneliness
✨ Or just for the relief of not having to explain themselves.

And they leave with smiles on their faces and community in their hearts. 💛

But here’s the thing…
Our funding is hanging by a thread (not the nice embroidery kind).
We’ve already had to pause our free haircuts and if you knew how much joy those Thursday trims brought, you’d understand the loss.

And while the people keep coming, for connection, not crafts, the resources are running out.

🎥 The short video says it best: real voices, real people, sharing what this space means to them.

This is community care in its purest form, run by a small team of dedicated staff and brilliant volunteers, fuelled by FareShare food and care in every corner.

We’re not begging.We’re asking with heart. If you believe spaces like this should exist
👉 Donate if you can.
👉 Can’t donate? Share this post and spread the word. It all helps.

📍 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/7e2d0a4d

Let’s keep the kettle on and the door open.
Because if we lose this space, we don’t just lose a drop-in, we lose a quiet kind of lifeline.

In a world full of noise, Scrap Thursday reminds us how to really listen.
