What We Do
Our work in Dundee centres on supporting people to have sufficient, nutritious food to eat while reducing waste. We do this by turning surplus food from local farms, supermarkets, and allotments into meals which are distributed to those who need through foodbanks and larders. We currently produce approximately 300 meals p/week but are focused to expand threefold during 2025 to meet demand (from both vulnerable people within Dundee for meals, and from food retailers to take surplus).
To ensure people have the skills to provide for themselves we run workshop sessions supporting people to grow, preserve, and cook with fresh ingredients and store cupboard essentials. We currently work with four local schools and other agencies to realise this aim.
Our Campaign
This spring we are running a campaign to raise awareness of the environmental impact of food waste, while supporting people to save money and reduce the amount of food they themselves throw away.
Will you join with us in making a difference in our local community while positively impacting the planet?
The Roundhouse Kitchen & Cafe
Closing the Loop between Food Surplus and Food Hunger

The Roundhouse Kitchen helps close the loop between food waste and food insecurity by sending freshly-cooked meals each week to Dundee Foodbank and local food larders.
The kitchen is open throughout the week for staff and volunteers.
Please get in touch if you'd like to volunteer.
