Serendipities cafe inspiring social change and leading way for equality in Dundee
Did you know there’s a cafe in Dundee that is inspiring social change and leading the way for equality across the city? Nope, nor did Dundee Live until we discovered Serendipities - a hugely popular local enterprise in the form of a ‘cosy, quirky cafe’ that believes in equality for all.
Everything they do is building toward socially and environmentally sustainable communities. Serving delicious homemade vegan sweet and savoury foods as well as responsibly sourced hot drinks, they reuse as much as they can to lessen any negative impacts on the environment.
The Union Street cafe uses excess food from supermarkets, through the Fareshare programme, and turns this into cooked meals to prevent unnecessary landfill waste.
They have a super-varied set menu, as well as a specials board with meals that change every day. Danielle du Plooy, Founder and Manager, is rightly proud of her team’s achievements.She told us: “As well as producing some lovely food we are a training cafe and registered social enterprise.“We offer an inclusive training programme aimed at individuals with additional needs, learning disabilities, autism and mental health barriers, developing life skills, and gaining knowledge and practical skills in hospitality.DundeeLive brings you the latest headlines from Dundee and beyond.But did you know you all the ways you can stay informed with us?You can get our top stories sent straight to your inbox with our daily news updates.
