Craigtoun Cafe Training Facility

A partnership agreement between the Friends of Craigtoun and Families First - St Andrews, recently saw the Craigtoun Cafe turned into a training facility once a week over a 10-week period. The project was organised by Dundee-based charity, Helm, and will provide the basis to assess the feasibility of running similar projects in the park in the future. The project has now reached completion and gained some welcome media coverage which you can follow by clicking on the links below:
