Help to develop our service for our supported individuals in Dundee

Based in the city centre of Dundee, our North Lindsay Street Day and Outreach Service supports 41 autistic adults. We are raising funds so that this service will be able to support even more autistic people and families across Tayside, to lead happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives.

The service includes a range of facilities; an art room, sensory room, IT room, life skills kitchen and a large social area. There is also a quieter area where individuals can focus on developing independent living skills as well as facilities for promoting relaxation and wellbeing. Those supported are also enabled to access a variety of activities in the wider community, either independently or as a group.

There is a need to refurbish the current toilet facilities at the service. We would also like to enhance the spaces and equipment for use, to benefit the people we support's personal development and enable opportunities for relaxation. The spaces that need an upgrade too are the training room, computer room, wellbeing room, sensory room and art room. We'd also like to improve the activities available for the individuals supported at the Day Opportunity service.

As part of their 2023-2025 service development plan, the Tayside team plan to reinvigorate and develop this service. These plans will help to support the wellbeing and personal development of all our supported individuals and also the staff who are so dedicated to supporting them. It will also greatly benefit staff and families of those supported at these services.

We hope to raise £56,830 towards upgrading this service.
