At Signpost International, we believe that poverty is both a global and a local challenge. Alongside our international work, we are committed to supporting communities here in Dundee.

The Roundhouse is our community hub on Lothian Crescent — a space where people can connect, learn, and access practical support. Inspired by traditional African roundhouse structures, it reflects our belief in community, sustainability, and shared responsibility.

At its heart, The Roundhouse is about bringing people together — creating a place where everyone is welcome, and where small actions can lead to lasting change.

Food & Community

Food is at the centre of what we do at The Roundhouse — not just as a basic need, but as a way to bring people together, reduce waste, and build community.

Community Kitchen

Our Community Kitchen transforms surplus food into nutritious meals for people across Dundee.

Each week, our team of staff and volunteers produces hundreds of meals using food that would otherwise go to waste. These meals are distributed through local partners, helping to support individuals and families while tackling food insecurity and environmental waste at the same time.

 Community Fridge

Our Community Fridge provides affordable access to surplus food in a welcoming, community-focused environment.

Open weekly, it allows visitors to select a range of items — from fresh produce to store cupboard essentials — helping reduce food waste while supporting household budgets. More than just food, it offers a space for connection, conversation, and community.

Community Meals

Through our community meals, we create opportunities for people to come together, share food, and build relationships.

These meals are about more than nourishment — they help reduce isolation, create a sense of belonging, and strengthen community ties.

Growing & Sustainability

Community Garden

Our Community Garden and greenhouse help people reconnect with where food comes from.

We grow a variety of fruit and vegetables, which are used in our kitchen and shared within the community. The garden also provides opportunities for people to learn new skills, spend time outdoors, and take part in the full journey from growing to cooking.

A Space for Community

The Roundhouse is also home to a range of organisations and activities, creating a shared space where different groups can work alongside one another to support the community.

We offer:

• Office space for local organisations
• Rooms for hire for meetings, events, and activities
• Opportunities to volunteer across all areas of our work
