“There are volunteering opportunities to be had with Greener Kirkcaldy and many others. If you think you live in this town and you don’t have a responsibility to do something positive, then think again because you can make a difference.”

Suzy Goodsir, chief executive of Greener Kirkcaldy, added: “We are really excited and proud to show off our new building and community kitchen - a place for everyone in our community to grow, cook, eat and learn.”
