Sponsored sparkles light up charity's Kirkcaldy building and raise over £20,000

LinkLiving has added LED stars to its base at West Bridge Mill, and they were switched on this week with the support of a host of sponsors who backed its ‘Sponsor the Sparkle’ fundraising campaign.

They each contributed vital funding to support the charity's work across Scotland, raising over £20,000.

LinkLiving, Link Group’s charity partner, helps people of all ages who have experienced trauma, isolation, and disadvantage. Its goal is for people to live their best possible lives in their homes and communities.

West Bridge Mill is a vibrant hub for LinkLiving's work in Fife, with a portion of the building reserved for supported temporary accommodation for up to 32 people experiencing homelessness. There, LinkLiving Support Workers adopt a trauma-informed approach

to work with each resident, developing a tailored personal support plan which helps them learn independent living and employability skills.

Sarah Smith, executive director of Communities at Link Group, said: "Sponsor the Sparkle is always a highlight in the LinkLiving calendar, giving us an opportunity to get together and celebrate another year of hard work by our staff and volunteers.

"We've been running this campaign for four years now, and the beautiful shining stars have become a recognisable landmark in Kirkcaldy in the run up to Christmas. We're extremely grateful to this year's sponsors for their contributions, which will have a tangible

impact on the lives of the people we support."

The final phase of the campaign runs right up until Christmas. Donate at https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/sponsorthesparkle2025
