Story

The 29,000 young people in Dundee (approximately) are 29,000 reasons to be hopeful about our city. They shine with energy, creativity, ideas and potential.

They also face some of the toughest challenges of any generation: Covid-19 has massively disrupted their education, decimated their employment prospects, and heightened mental health difficulties. Those who were already marginalized or disadvantaged have been hit the hardest.

Dundee also has a range of grass roots youth work organizations who have the skills, experience, and trust to make a difference with young people. We formed Dundee Youth Work Network to connect, support each other and collaborate so we can make the biggest difference for the most young people. These charities are facing tough times too and really need your support through this campaign.

Your support will sustain individual support focussed on young people's needs and ambitions, group work that creates opportunities to learn and develop their skills and confidence, connections into their city to make a difference, and much much more...

We invite you to join our fundraising activities fortnight from Sat 28th August to Sat 11th September and help us raise money that will make a difference. Some people are planning to walk 29 miles; some are going to do 29,000 keepy-uppies; make 29 films, songs, and pictures... what could you do? Sign up as a fundraiser here... If you would like to chat about ideas then contact us on Facebook or Twitter: search 29000 Reasons.

We work with young people aged 12-21 who hang out in the city centre (around 150 different young people over a fortnight). We don’t ‘put stuff on’ for the young people; instead we support them to develop their own opportunities – that way there’s a shed load more skills and confidence developed.
