Support the club
Keep the lum reekin’ at 37 Union Street
We are one of the very few Burns clubs in the world to own our own rooms, and we have kept Burns alive in Dundee since 1860. There is no grant behind us: the club runs on members’ subscriptions, event income and the goodwill of friends. Every one of us is a volunteer.
Donate
Give a gift to the club
A donation of any size helps us look after a historic building, care for our collection and keep our events open to everyone. You do not need to be a member to give.
Pay securely by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or give in person at the club bar. If you would rather pay by bank transfer, email the Secretary for details.

Where it goes
What your support pays for
Current appeal
A new cooker for the club kitchen
Our cooker has reached the end of its working life. A new one will keep the kitchen ready for our Burns Suppers, St Andrew’s Night dinner and club events. When you give, add “Cooker” in the note at checkout and your gift will go to the appeal.
