Every day, Nourish walks alongside families in Fife with additional support needs offering life-changing support, connection, and community when it’s needed most.
When your child has additional support needs, it can affect the whole family. Alongside the love and laughter, there can be worry, loneliness, and tough days but you’re not alone. Nourish is here to help, with understanding, connection, and practical support every step of the way.
At Nourish, we believe every family deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether it’s through our Family Support Centre, our Community Hub in the Mercat Shopping Centre, or our inclusive support groups and wellbeing sessions, we meet families with compassion, dignity, and practical help. From crisis support to connection-building, our services are shaped by lived experience and designed to remove barriers, so families with additional support needs can thrive, not just survive.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Our Testimonials
"School was becoming really difficult for Holly—she was overwhelmed, anxious, and struggling to cope. After working with the school, we agreed she would attend three days a week, and on her non-school days, she comes to Nourish with me for family sessions. The change has been incredible. She’s more settled, her concentration has improved, and she’s starting to enjoy her days again. She’s interacting more, smiling more, and it’s lovely to see her confidence growing. Nourish has given us both the space and support we needed."
Holly's Mum supported by Nourish
"When our circumstances changed, everything felt overwhelming. As a family of six, we were struggling to make ends meet and didn’t know where to turn. Nourish stepped in with crisis support when we needed it most, helping us get back on our feet. Once things were more stable, they connected us with the right support and even helped us go on a short family break, a chance to breathe, reconnect, and just be together. It made a world of difference. We’ll never forget the kindness and care we received."
Family supported by Nourish
"Nourish has been a lifeline for our family. My daughter started attending sessions when she was younger, and the care and understanding she received made a huge difference. Now, as a young person, she’s thriving in her volunteering role, learning life skills, building confidence, and taking steps toward a happy, more independent future. We’re so grateful for the support and belief Nourish has shown her every step of the way."
Nourish Support Centre was founded in 2011 by a group of parents who understood, first-hand, the challenges of raising children with additional support needs. What began as a small peer-led initiative has grown into a trusted, inclusive hub for families across Fife—offering emotional support, practical help, and a safe space to connect. Rooted in lived experience and community care, Nourish continues to evolve, always guided by the voices of the families we serve.
