Greene Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity and development trust working on a local scale to benefit people and our environment. We would like to see a future where everyone is able to heat their home affordably, eat well, and tread more lightly on our planet. We work towards that by delivering projects to meet the needs and aspirations of local people: tackling fuel and food poverty, protecting and enjoying the environment, and bringing the community together. We take a community development approach, supporting our members, volunteers, and the wider community to make Kirkcaldy a greener and fairer place to live.
Our High Street Hub drop-in centre is open 4 days per week for anyone to speak to us about going greener, or to find out more about our programme of events or volunteering opportunities. It also includes our Eco Shop. We run two community garden sites, at Ravenscraig Walled Garden and Dunnikier Country Park where we host regular volunteer sessions, training and events, and work with local schools and youth groups.
We lead the Cosy Kingdom partnership providing a home energy advice service across Fife. So far the partnership has helped over 3,000 homes in Fife keep warm and save money.
We are currently working on a number of projects surrounding Food, Growing, Waste Reduction, Climate Change, Energy and Transport. We are also developing an exciting new project – a Community Food Hub for Kirkcaldy.
