Foreword
As we entered the Covid-19 pandemic, the team at Fife Forum began to think about how they might be able to
continue providing support to people and organisations throughout Fife. To assist our role, and ourselves in this,
we began to gather detail relating to what supports were available for people during what was and is
unprecedented times.
Fife Forum started to collate a Resource & Support List which the staff went on to distribute among their work
contacts. Since then the list has grown and we are now attempting to better present the information to assist the
reader. As many of the provisions scribed provide more than one support over a variety of areas we intend to
now present the information by geographical area rather than service type.
The list will remain far from comprehensive but hopefully it continues to capture at least some of the primary
supports we at Fife Forum are aware of.
Please feel free to distribute as widely as you see fit and contact Fife Forum (FAO Wayne info@fifeforum.org.uk)
should you wish to include or amend information. Our intention is to present information as accurately as we are
able and apologise if errors occur. Should you note any anomalies please notify Fife Forum and we will
endeavour to correct this as soon as is practicable.
Fife Forum aims to update this resource weekly (Thursday) and it is downloadable from our website
www.fifeforum.org.uk
If this helps one person this feels worthwhile. Stay safe, stay well.
