The Sunshine Kitchen, a cookery project for adults with additional support needs, is to continue its award-winning work using facilities at Rothes Halls in Glenrothes.
Team members had been without a base since their existing kitchen lease ran out, but now the town’s theatre is to be their new production centre.

Since setting up three years ago, Cupar-based Sunshine Kitchen has excelled at making delicious food from locally sourced produce in a supportive work environment.
It offers young adults with a lifelong neurological condition a safe space to learn how to develop food products, before going on to sell them at local farmers’ markets.
With an emphasis on using local produce, the team of young people also provide catering services to other groups and supply a café with regular deliveries of soup and bread.
