Exhibition celebrating kindness of Dundee people to go on display this week

A celebration of Dundee's people, organisations and businesses that go out of their way to help others is to go on display once again.

Dundee Kindness will return to City Square with 18 new photographs of caring locals, captured by snapper Dylan Drummond.

Dylan has interviewed fundraisers, community centre bosses, local volunteers and stalwart neighbourhood figures who have gone the extra mile to help others in the last year.

His photographs, along with quotes from his subjects, will go on display in the city centre from Friday November 26 until St Andrew's Day on Tuesday November 30.

The exhibition will also be made available to view online via the Dundee City Council website.

It follows the first Dundee Kindness exhibition last year, which featured pictures from former Duncan of Jordanstone student David P Scott.

In the days leading up to St Andrew’s Day, the council has invited locals to share stories of people who have done good for others using the hashtag #DundeeKindness.

Lord Provost Ian Borthwick said: “We all know people who have gone the extra mile to help others. It has been a feature of the difficult times we live in that Dundonians have rallied round and looked out for each other.

“Businesses, organisations and everyday people have given their time, talents, energy and resources to be kind – they have seen a need in others and reached out to help.

“There was a really positive reaction when we first launched #DundeeKindness last year, and I’m sure people will enjoy reflecting on these stories and sharing their own this year as well.”

#DundeeKindness has been organised by Dundee City Council as part of the programme for St Andrew’s Fair Saturday, a unique festival supporting social causes.
