Who are we?
Transition Dundee is a community-led social enterprise which aims to make Dundee a healthier, happier and more sustainable place to live through various climate change themed projects.
Many people are aware of the threats that the Climate Emergency poses - but we are here to show there is HOPE, there are lots of things we can do to tackle it TOGETHER and to ensure EVERYONE has the chance to help shape the future Dundee.
OUR PROJECTS
Community Fridge
Dundee West End Community Fridge helps to reduce food waste by making short-dated, surplus food, from supermarkets and local food businesses available to the community.
Available to absolutely anyone who can use it as the main aim is to reduce food surplus. We operate on a Pay As You Feel system - if you don't have money today, no problem!
Workshop & Events
Our workshops help people to develop new skills and improve their understanding of climate change issues, as well as providing much needed social spaces post-pandemic.

The Wardrobe
The Wardrobe is a second-hand clothing shop with a difference!
It aims to encourage more people to REUSE, REPAIR & SHARE. ‘Fast Fashion’ is one of the biggest problems driving the climate & ecological crisis. Shopping second hand is great for the planet and our bank balance - our prices are low and we even have a large free section to stop even more going to waste.
Gleaning Project
Our newest project - Gleaning is the harvesting of farm produce that would otherwise be wasted. With a team of volunteers we go to local farms and 'Glean' what is left after the farmer is finished with it - saving the food from going to waste and feeding lots of people.
