West End Blethers – all welcome! #dundeewestend

Update from Dundee Pensioners’ Forum :


“The West End Blethers cafe has re-started for 2022 – and will continue every Thursday at The Friary, Tullideph Road, between 12 noon and 2pm.

This has been a very successful project – we have managed to secure funding to take us through until around September 2022 and will seek further funding this year to extend that even further.

The blethering levels are rising by the week … and now that the pandemic restrictions are lifting, we can resume singing all the old songs. It is amazing how well older people remember every word of every verse!

Everyone is welcome!    There is free tea, coffee, cake, scones (heated with butter and jam) and delicious home cooked soup and rolls. The cafe also has a small food larder – 10 items for £2 – and free fruit and vegetables to take away.

We’d love to welcome you at the Friary, any Thursday between 12 noon and 2pm!”
