Downfield Juniors FC is a community focussed club that also supports other local projects to use the building. Kirkton Community Centre LMG will be based at the club while they work to build their own new community centre. The increased number of people using the building will benefit from improved inclusive and disability accessible entrance walkways and doors.
Description
The funds received will be used to enhance the entrance of the Downfield JFC facility, ensuring it meets the needs of users with disabilities. Currently, the building lacks suitable wheelchair access and electronic doors, which these improvements aim to address.
We are currently working with the trustees of the Kirkton Community Centre Local Management Group with an aim to provide accommodation for several of their community activities while work is underway to establish a new community centre in the area. During this period, they will use our building to host two community cafés, children’s programs, adult groups, fundraisers , holiday and term time provision for family groups and a food larder.
To ensure accessibility for all, we have consulted with centre users, committee members, and volunteers to identify necessary provisions. Additionally, we have engaged with a representative from the Dundee Access Group to discuss the project and gather valuable insights on the needs of those with restricted mobility.
