HOPE project

The Hope Project is a free service for people living in the Dundee area. The project supports a wide range of people who have feelings of loneliness and social isolation, along with levels of frailty which may be due to age, ill -health or a diagnosed condition. The service is open to people who own their own homes as well as those who rent.

What do we do?  

For some people, accessing the help they need can be difficult, especially if they don’t know what help is available, or where to find it. 

The Community Engagement Workers will use their knowledge and experience of local facilities, services and agencies to provide support, advice, and signposting for people in the community. 

We also make referrals for support and services to help you keep safe, well, active, and independent. Some examples of these referrals are; 

  Welfare/benefit checks

 Social Activities – attending groups in your local area

  Housing Options advice 

  Occupational therapy aids and adaptations

  Connecting you to activities or events in your area

 Community alarm

  Meal service / food train

  Befriending 

  Blue Badge and Bus pass applications 

Morning call service 

 Home Fire Safety visits 

The Hope Project has come together through a partnership between the following organisations – Dundee
