In 2010 a local Steering Group was brought together by Faith in Community Scotland (link to website) to form a local initiative – Faith in Community Dundee. As 1 of 5 teams under the umbrella of Faith in Community Scotland the local team worked with faith communities across the city to develop local relevant responses to poverty.

As a community development organisation, it was always the intention that Faith in Community Dundee would become an independent SCIO with local Governance. In 2020, despite the challenges that the pandemic threw at us, we took that step and, under the strong lead of the local steering group (now Board of Trustees) and the Director, and with the support of our colleagues at Faith in Community Scotland, we made the transition.

In September 2020 Faith in Community Dundee was awarded SCIO status bringing all our governance and operational systems under local Governance. Who are we?
