02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The MAXwell Centre & Garden provides a welcoming, inclusive and dignified space in the heart of our community. We support people of all genders, ethnicities, religions and ages: From birth to 92 (Our oldest volunteer!) We bring people together in an environment that promotes interaction, integration and to empower them to improve their lives and the place they live. Our work is regularly showcased not only across Dundee but the whole of Scotland as an example of good practice. We structure our free activities under 3 interconnected areas of work: MAX Support, MAX Youth and MAX Garden Outreach. This allows us to reach out to those who might not recognise they need help and encourage them to access support with no stigma or judgement attached.
