  • Joyce Reid
    Dec 13 2022

    Everyone seems to know something about Dundee. It's full of art, design, games and those award winning tourist attractions. But as our guest, Joyce Reid of Transition Dundee, says - there's a whole other side of sustainability going on too. Joyce talks about her involvement with fashion, recycling, upcycling and building skills. Her own journey reflects her interest in making the planet a better place. And, naturally enough, she shares some advice garnered from the front line.  It's a real celebration of community and the power of workshops.
    For more details about the Wardrobe, the Community Fridge and those workshops - check out their website and socials.
