People in Dundee are being encouraged to attend events throughout September for Recovery Month.

TSI Dundee (formally Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action) have developed a programme of events with the support of recovery organisations within the city.

Recovery Month is an annual reminder for us to come together to build relationships, foster hope and kindness within Dundee and celebrate people’s recovery journeys.

The month is also a time to continue challenging stigma and raise awareness of what support options are available for people locally.

As Dundee Recovery Month 2026 begins, Depute Lord Provost and Council spokesperson for Alcohol & Drugs, Cllr Nadia El-Nakla, visited an Overdose Awareness Day event in City Square. 💜

The event brought together partners, staff, volunteers and members of the public to remember loved ones lost, raise awareness, share support and help save lives through naloxone training.

Cllr El-Nakla said: “Today is about remembering those we have lost, standing alongside those affected by drug and alcohol related harm and making sure people know that support is available.

"Every life matters. Something as simple as carrying naloxone and knowing how to use it can make the difference between life and death. We also need to break the stigma around addiction and, above all, see people for who they are, as people, not their circumstances."

The event marked an important start to Recovery Month, highlighting the strength, compassion and commitment of people across the city working to reduce harm, support recovery and save lives.

A 12-week statutory consultation on a potential visitor levy for Dundee starts today (Monday August 31).

The two visitor levy options which are now out for feedback involve either a flat rate of £5 per room per night or a levy based on 5% of the nightly room rate, both with a cap of 7 nights.

It is estimated each could raise over £2 million a year if introduced.

Launch of the consultation follows approval of a report by councillors earlier this year. This explained that tourism plays an increasingly important role in Dundee’s economy, with more than1.4 million visitors in 2024, including over 600,000 overnight stays.

Levy funds could help enhance the visitor experience through improvements to the public realm as well as visitor information and signage.

Income could also be invested in cultural events and festivals as well as business and convention tourism and destination marketing.

Following the consultation, a further report would be considered later this year before any decision about introducing a levy is taken. If it is agreed, a levy would not be introduced until the summer of 2028.
