Riverside Pavilion
A New Home for the Community
Help us build a modern, accessible community hub on the banks of the River Tay — a welcoming space for youth, families, and the wider Dundee community to meet, learn, and thrive.
Building Hope. Building Futures.
The Riverside Pavilion is a landmark project for the Yusuf Youth Initiative and the wider Dundee community. Situated on Riverside Drive on the banks of the River Tay, it will provide a purpose-built facility that meets the growing demand for our services.
For over 20 years, YYI has delivered vital support to young people, families, and minority ethnic communities across Dundee. The Riverside Pavilion will give us a permanent, modern home to expand our reach and deepen our impact for generations to come.
