We need YOUR vote to help Dundee Carers Centre secure funding for an exciting Climate Action Project that will make a real difference for unpaid carers, their families, and our local community.

Here’s what the grant will fund and why your vote matters:

About the Project

We are looking to appoint a Support Worker who will be funded short-term to deliver a series of events, workshops and outings focused on tackling climate change and promoting sustainability, such as:

Clean-Up Events

  • Three environmental clean-ups: Beach, Woodland, and River.
  • Hands-on opportunities to improve local green and blue spaces.

Creative Arts

  • Workshops on Reduce, Recycle, Reuse.
  • Transform waste from clean-ups into art pieces that symbolise our shared commitment to the environment.

Workshops & Outings

  • Focus on using renewables, active travel, and reducing waste.
  • Encourage carers to enjoy and learn from local green spaces.
  • Support carers in growing their green initiatives at home.

Celebration Event

  • A showcase of the entire project.
  • Highlight the efforts of carers and the community while raising awareness of climate change.

Research conducted with local carers showed that they want to be involved in climate action but face barriers to existing opportunities to get involved.
