2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Dundee United Community Trust is delighted to present its 2021 Annual Report. This report is the second checkpoint on progress against our current strategic plan, launched in 2019, as the Community Trust continues to improve the lives of people in Dundee and the surrounding areas.
While Covid-19 restrictions remained fluid and its impact profound on many, our staff and volunteers demonstrated real commitment and flexibility to deliver our impact in a variety of ways. We expanded our Festive Friends programme into January and beyond, with the delivery of 100 Burns Suppers to older people and families across the City, followed by 100 Afternoon Tea boxes to families in the local community. While restrictions early in the year meant our adult programmes couldn’t operate as normal, we kept our walking footballers motivated with a daily step challenge – which by the end had amassed over 7 million accumulative steps.
David Dorward, Chair of the Community Trust, had this to say about the Annual Report “Our Charity has managed to grow, adapt and develop against a backdrop of significant challenges as the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic continues. I would encourage you to have a good read of the report, and I promise you will be simply amazed at the range of services we deliver in the local community.”
As well as achieving an increase in the number of projects delivered and people supported, the Community Trust also invested in its staff team; gearing the Charity up for further success. In addition to increasing our commitment to Para-Sports by creating our first full-time development officer role, we also welcomed Cheryl Marshall and Lorna Thomson to the team as our first Employability Manager and Business Support Manager respectively.
Jamie Kirk, DUCT’s Chief Executive, added “I’m really proud of the efforts of all of our staff and volunteers and I’m really excited that we’re able to share this report with you. I’d also like to thank all of our members, sponsors, funders and supporters – we couldn’t do what we do without you and hopefully the report outlines just what a difference you’re helping us achieve.”
