Supporting New Scots in Winter: A Call to Action from Dundee Rugby Club

Supporting New Scots in Winter: A Call to Action from Dundee Rugby Club

Stephanie Craig28 Nov 2023 - 15:01

Help us support our local community!

In the spirit of camaraderie and community support, we would like to bring your attention to a vital cause that requires our collective effort - aiding New Scots as they face the challenges of winter in Dundee.

Lali, from Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action, recently reached out to us, expressing the ongoing need for winter essentials for individuals who have recently arrived in our city. The influx of New Scots continues, and we have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on their lives during the colder months.

How Can We Help?

The current necessities for New Scots include young men's winter clothes and shoes, particularly in sizes Medium-Large for clothing and 42-43 (8-9 UK) for shoes. Additionally, dignity packs comprising new underwear, socks, toothbrushes/paste, shower gel, deodorant, and a bag, such as a rucksack, are greatly appreciated.

Donation Drop-off Points

To facilitate the collection and distribution process, ScrapAntics, in collaboration with the Scottish Refugee Council, has graciously agreed to host collections. Here are the designated drop-off locations and times:

1. ScrapAntics Wellgate Community Space
- Location: Near JD Gym
- Times: Tuesdays 10 am - 2 pm, Thursdays 12 pm - 3 pm

2. ScrapStore, Unit 2, Meadow Mill, W Henderson's Wynd, Dundee DD1 5BY
- Times: Saturdays 10 am - 2 pm

Join Us in Making a Difference

We invite each member of the Dundee Rugby Club family to participate in this initiative. Whether you can contribute items or help spread the word, every small effort counts. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those who need it most.
