It will do this through the creation of a community café in Broughty Ferry that will provide training and employment opportunities.

Our name indicates that we will do ‘good’, offer good food and will be based in Broughty Ferry

*The beneficiary group will include:
- Women who face challenges through poverty, social isolation, poor educational attainment, mental health issues, domestic abuse, low risk women offenders, and refugee/asylum seekers. Referrals to the project will be made through working closely with identified third sector partners, the volunteer agencies and Dundee City Council Employability Team. This list is not exclusive, and we will work with any woman who may benefit from the support and training provided.
