In the run-up to Christmas (between 13th and 24th December) we bring you a different charity that needs your help at this time of year, as part of our dedicated 12 Charities of Christmas campaign…
Transform…
Transform’s aim as an organisation is to meet the needs of vulnerable people.
They listen to what users say and work with them to find individual solutions to the needs they identify. To achieve this, the organisation continues to provide a range of services that they hope really do make a difference.
These range from advice and accommodation to sheltered employment. The team consistently works with people who have not had their needs met by other services and present with significant needs and often particularly challenging behaviours.
Transform wants to assist clients to become more able to cope with the challenges they face in life.
They provide temporary accommodation with support to find appropriate secure accommodation. And they also assist with access to training and employment.
A significant development of Transform’s social furniture project has enabled them to employ two long-term unemployed individuals.
This move into social enterprise is designed to create employment and training opportunities while at the same time generate new unrestricted income to enable them to develop services.
The organisation has also set up a trading subsidiary company, Transform Commercial, which provides services to Local Authorities and Registered Social Landlords. The new retail unit is now also for selling re-use furniture.

Utili-Tay has been working with Transform for the past 12 months and bosses think it’s fantastic what they do for those in Dundee.
