🎉 A Huge Thank You to Brian Gilbert! 🎉
We are overjoyed to announce that local Kirkcaldy resident Brian Gilbert has generously donated £500 to Nourish Support Centre after winning £1000 in a competition on Kingdom FM! 🙌
Brian chose to give back to the community by donating half of his prize to support the vital work we do at Nourish, where we share a building with Kingdom FM. 💙
During his visit, Brian met members of our Happy Mondays Group, which provides social activities for individuals with additional needs. The cash was presented alongside our CEO Lynne Scott, Kingdom FM’s Vanessa Motion, and Brogan from Happy Mondays.
"This donation will make a huge difference to the lives of carers, families, and individuals with additional needs," said Lynne Scott. "Thank you, Brian, for your incredible kindness and community spirit!" 💫
Donations like Brian’s help us continue empowering unpaid carers and their families throughout Fife.

NEWS: Nourish Support Centre Takes Part in Fighting Poverty Week 2024 with Essential Winter Aid for Children and Families
Nourish Support Centre took part in Fighting Poverty Week 2024 by providing essential winter clothing to children and young people. Thanks to funding received earlier this year from the STV Children's Appeal, they are distributing free hats, scarves, and gloves to the children and young people they support, helping families prepare for the colder months ahead.
As the weather turns cooler and concerns around heating costs and warm outdoor clothing grow, Nourish Support Centre aims to ease the burden on families who are already struggling. The free winter accessories will provide some relief to families who may be choosing between necessities like heating their homes and providing their children with warm, appropriate clothing for the winter.
“We know that many families are facing difficult financial circumstances this year, especially with the rising cost of living,” said Lynne Scott, CEO of Nourish Support Centre. “With funding from the STV Children’s Appeal, we’re doing what we can to provide a little extra warmth and support during the colder months. We hope these small acts of kindness will help, even if just in a small way for families worry less about affording outdoor clothing as we approach the festive season.”
The initiative is part of Nourish Support Centre's ongoing commitment to fighting poverty and supporting the well-being of children and families in Fife with additional support needs. This winter aid comes at a crucial time, with heating bills and winter-related expenses adding strain to already tight family budgets. With Christmas on the horizon, this simple gesture is designed to bring warmth and comfort to those who need it most.
We are thrilled to be selected by The Balbirnie as one of their chosen charities this month. Look out for a fantastic raffle prize coming up soon....💕Just a wee post to say thank you to all the Fife's charities and good causes for taking the time to email us with regard to a charity donation. 💕
