Changemakers Dundee SOUPs are back with a bigger £1000 funding pot to help bring community projects to life!

Based on the popular Detroit SOUP model with a local twist, Dundee SOUP is a micro-funding event celebrating and supporting creative community projects in Dundee.

Dundee Changemakers Hub are returning to the SOUP format, bigger and better, with three funding pots of £1000 to help climate and social justice ideas have a greater impact for people across the city.

If you have an idea or a project that needs some support, this is your chance to pitch for £1000! Pitch submissions close at midnight, Tue 15 July with presenters selected and notified by Thu 17 July.

Dundee’s Changemakers Hub is being designed and delivered by a collective of four local community organisations: Transition Dundee, The Maxwell Centre, ScrapAntics, and Uppertunity, offering support, events, workshops and micro-grants to connect and amplify collective community action.

The Hub is part of a growing national network of Climate Action Hubs funded by the Scottish Government’s Climate Action Fund, which aim to build local awareness of the climate emergency, develop local plans, help groups take up funding opportunities, and contribute to a Just Transition.
