In Pictures: groups come together for 2025 Kirkcaldy Strong community walk

The event, which is part of the Kirkcaldy Walking Festival, and the inaugural Lang Toun Fest saw participants walk the two miles from Linton Lane Centre to The Kings Theatre on the town’s Esplanade.

Since 2021, Kirkcaldy Strong has hosted an annual walk to champion the heroism and partnership in the town raising awareness and funds for local community groups, charities, and their supporters for the extraordinary work they do to help vulnerable locals.

Groups taking part included Cheryl's Walk N Talk Group at Linton Lane Centre, Walking Mends My Mind, Nourish Support Centre, Hayfield Community Centre, Dunnikier Country Park Development Group, Stages Dance School, Raith Rovers Community Foundation, Auld Kirk Players and Rapid Relief Team UK.

Lisa May Young, founder, said: “My heartfelt thanks to the 65 local folk who attended to support local groups and charities as part of Kirkcaldy Walking Festival organised by Amby Stanyer-Hunter. What a day of shared laughter, community and celebration! Thank you to the Rapid Relief Team UK who provided food and drinks for everyone.”

Mandy Hunter, CEO of Linton Lane Centre said, “Five years on and it gets bigger and better. Such a lovely community event, lots of peeping, smiles, chatting on the walk and cooking from the Rapid Response Team. Thank you to the Kings Theatre for the space upstairs and an all-round applause to everyone who made this happen. Cheers to Dean Saunders who piped us off from Linton Lane Centre and welcomed us to The Kings,”.
