Recovery Vila on Dundee

Além from hotel appointments, Clooney accompanied Bob Geldof on Thursday to visit a prototype house of a new recovery village for drug addicts in Dundee. Social Bite, founded by Josh Littlejohn in 2012, aims to launch this £2.3 million project focused on supporting people who cannot afford private residential rehabilitation services.

The project aims to offer support on three main fronts:

• Acesso to decent and safe housing
• Disponibilização of regular and nutritious food
• Oportunidades integration into the job market

Preocupações from the local community

Dundee’s project has already faced resistance from local residents since its announcement in 2023. Residents of Mill o’ Mains have expressed concerns regarding children’s safety and the possible disruption of a public space much loved by the community. The prototype village now on display seeks to demonstrate how the development can integrate into the neighborhood while respecting these concerns.

Social Bite, which has been working on social vulnerability issues since 2012, uses fundraising events like this to expand its initiatives. The presence of renowned celebrities such as Clooney significantly increases the visibility and impact of these projects among the public and potential donors.
