Kirkcaldy Is … help answer that and shape town’s future at open day

Greener Kirkcaldy is inviting local people to its annual event on Saturday, August 8 for a free drop-in event which celebrate what makes Kirkcaldy special, encourage people to imagine what the town could become, and also invite them to help shape the voluntary organisation’s future.

It runs from 11:00am to 2:00pm, at its community building in East Fergus Place.

Through interactive activities, conversations and creative ideas, visitors will be encouraged to reflect on what Kirkcaldy means to them, what they value most about where they live and the role Greener Kirkcaldy can play in creating a greener, fairer future for the town.

As Greener Kirkcaldy begins developing its next Strategic Plan, the event will give local people the opportunity to help shape the organisation's priorities for the years ahead.

Visitors will also be invited to share their ideas for the emerging Kirkcaldy Greenspace Strategy, exploring how green spaces can help make the town healthier, more welcoming and better connected.

Throughout the day, visitors can discover Greener Kirkcaldy's work through hands-on activities, including the premiere of a new film showcasing the charity's impact, delicious food tastings and activities, energy advice, a smoothie bike, garden treasure hunt, creative family activities and opportunities to find out more about volunteering, membership and getting involved.

Lauren Brook, chief executive, said: "Greener Kirkcaldy has always been rooted in our community and our future should be shaped by the people we exist to serve.

“As we begin developing our next Strategic Plan, we want to hear what local people think the biggest opportunities and challenges are for Kirkcaldy and where they think Greener Kirkcaldy can make the greatest difference.

"'Kirkcaldy is…' is about celebrating our town, sharing ideas and looking ahead together. Whether you've been involved with Greener Kirkcaldy for years or are visiting us for the first time, we'd love you to come along, discover what we do and join the conversation about what's next."

The event is free to attend and no booking is required. Find out more at: www.greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk
