Brooke Reid

Founder of Freya’s Wish Dundee

Im Brooke Reid. Founder of Freya’s Wish. And this is my story.

As some of you may know, me & my gorgeous daughter were in a freak accident in 2020. Like a flash of a light, a current dragged us both down a waterfall. I survived this but sadly our beautiful Angel grew her wings. Our hearts have stopped & will never be the same without our Freya but from now on our purpose is to keep her memory growing while helping low-income parents within Dundee create beautiful memories with their children and loved ones still here.

Everyone who knew Freya can say that she lived life to the fullest. She was kind, caring & would do anything to be involved in things that helped created change. We were so blessed to have her in our lives. The one thing that's keeping us strong is our endless memories and love we had together. This is why I have worked endlessly to create this community Initiative.

Memories are so important. I know from experience that they aren't always in financial reach, so I want to break down the barriers and see families create beautiful memories with their children and loved ones in memory of our Freya. Not only that, but everything else we have created since the beginning…

At Freya's Wish our biggest goals are allowing dreams to become a reality while making memories and sharing love with the community. We are a place where we bring the beauty of Dundee culture and further together to create beautiful memories.

We host monthly Thrift Day’s for all who need it to enjoy, where we set up our venue with all the things we have been donated, buy fresh food, cook hot food, have hot drinks and support the wider community with all the materialistic nonsense so money can be spent on more important things like memories.

We are a creative platform for talented personalities of all ages and walks of life. We host weekly drop in’s, live music events, poetry gigs, Dance nights, Easter, Frey-stival, Halloween, etc. We are rentable for kid’s parties and special occasions.

We are a platform for you to host your own events. We are a safe space for all to love and enjoy.

We offer rehearsal space for artists and inspiring artists to get creative and have fun.

Our community boutique is now officially open with the best of gear at affordable prices. Most of our events are donation-based value for money so no one feels left out due to financial reasons.

As a team we will continue to come up with creative ways to raise money. However, we can’t do it alone and like everything in life everything has an expense even if all you do is give.

Life is costly. Anything no matter how small all adds up and allows us to continue everything that we do. Thank you everyone for your support so far. In memory of our butterfly Freya Ava Skene, 01/08/2012 - 06/07/2020
