02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Giving Back is here to bring people together, reduce inequality and create opportunities for families, young people and the wider community in Dundee and Broughty Ferry. We do this by listening to local needs and providing practical, inclusive support that helps people feel connected, valued and hopeful. Our work includes free community events, food support, wellbeing activities and tailored programmes for young people who are neurodivergent or experiencing mental health challenges. Through our Youth Employability Programme, we help young people aged 16–25 build confidence, skills and paid work experience with wraparound support. This year, we are also opening our new community café and hub, which will provide a welcoming space for connection, support, community activities and access to help, while also creating opportunities for young people to learn and grow.
