In October, the School/College Partnership group at Fife College hosted a welcoming coffee afternoon, followed by a cheerful cake sale the next day. With delicious bakes, a variety of drinks, and a friendly atmosphere, the event raised £95.00 to support Nourish’s work with families across Fife.
The team promoted the event on social media and set up an information table to help raise awareness of Nourish’s inclusive, emotionally safe support. It was a brilliant example of community-led fundraising bringing people together, sharing stories, and making a real difference.
Huge thanks to Darren and the Hospitality, Tourism & Events team for their generosity and creativity.

Jackie volunteers for Nourish and is one of our incredible community fundraisers who’s turned generosity and creativity into impact. Using donated and gifted items, all brand new, Jackie carefully curates and beautifully wraps small gift sets that anyone would be delighted to receive. From pamper packs to festive treats, each bundle is made with care and a touch of magic.
So far, Jackie has raised over £100 for Nourish through her handmade gifts and she’s not stopping there. With the busy Christmas season approaching, she’s hoping to double her total before the big day.
Her efforts not only raise vital funds, but also spread joy and awareness of Nourish’s work supporting families with additional needs across Fife. We’re so grateful for Jackie’s kindness, creativity, and commitment.

Every New Year’s Day, as the sun rises over Kirkcaldy’s frosty shoreline, a brave band of locals gather for a tradition that’s as bold as it is heartwarming: the Loony Dook. With kilts, costumes, and plenty of laughter, they plunge into the icy waters not just to chase away the cobwebs of Hogmanay, but to make a real difference for families across Fife.
For many, this annual dip has become a pilgrimage of purpose. Whether it’s their first splash or their tenth, each Dooker brings energy, generosity, and a deep sense of community spirit. And every penny raised goes directly to supporting Nourish’s work creating emotionally safe spaces, inclusive outreach, and practical support for families with additional needs.
We’re endlessly grateful to everyone who’s made the Loony Dook part of their New Year ritual for Nourish. Your courage warms hearts long after the cold wears off.

On a sunny day in our local park, families, carers, and children gathered, teddy bears in tow for a joyful 2.2-mile walk that was anything but ordinary. Our annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic brought together community spirit, learning, and laughter, all in support of Nourish.
Children proudly collected sponsorships for their walk, learning about numbers, literacy, and responsibility along the way. With every step, they built confidence and connection, some even fuelled by marmalade sandwiches, just like Paddington himself!
After the walk, everyone tucked into their packed lunches, sharing stories and smiles on the grass. It was a beautiful reminder that fundraising can be fun, inclusive, and full of heart.
Huge thanks to all our little fundraisers and their cuddly companions for helping us build a kinder, more emotionally safe Fife.
