Lochee Community Hub
The Lochee Community Hub was established in 2016 as a result of a review of the services and support responding to substance misuse that was undertaken by the Dundee Alcohol & Drugs Partnership (ADP).
Located at the heart of the community, the Lochee Hub offers non-stigmatising, easily accessible services and support to the whole community delivered from the one location. A range of front-line staff and volunteers are able to respond to the needs of individuals and families immediately, effectively and in an integrated approach. As well as supporting the whole community by offering a range of activities, the Lochee Hub engages with vulnerable individuals (including substance misuse, mental health, homelessness and housing issues) and offers support to vulnerable families. The Hub supports individuals to progress with their recovery through meaningful activities, life-skills support and by offering a welcoming venue for mutual aid activities.
The project’s core vision incorporates a place-based approach, which enables effective work with people and communities to improve their health and wellbeing. Place-based working is carried out in a person-centred, bottom-up approach to meet the unique needs of people in the locality; by working together, we use the best available resources and gain local knowledge and insight. From this information we deliver one to one sessions and group work such as afterschool groups, job clubs, benefit advice, mindfulness etc. The Hub aims to build a picture of the system from a local perspective, taking an asset-based approach that seeks to highlight the strengths, capacity and knowledge of all of those involved.
This approach acknowledges the complexity of people’s lives by working in direct partnership with a range of services and provides a way of uncovering the needs and strengths of local communities.
We post a weekly Planner on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
If you are interested in providing services from the HUB or booking a room please contact 01382 436704.

I love blethering with people. It’s amazing how a friendship develops with someone, who you have never met, develops over the phone.” Dial-OP Blether Buddie Volunteer
