LinkLiving celebrates 10 years of support in Fife

LinkLiving's Fife service, which helps people across the Kingdom to live independently, will celebrate its 10th birthday this Friday (22.08.08).

The organisation, which is part of the Link group, took up residence at West Bridge Mill, Kirkcaldy, in 1998, from where it offers two services:

Accommodation with Support - helping up to 30 people who live at West Bridge Mill to develop their own support plan, which is tailored to their needs and geared towards helping them live independently. This may include help with cooking, shopping, budgeting, developing social networks or emotional support.
Tenancy Support Service - delivering individualised packages of support to people right across Fife who live in their own homes. Service users receive between one and 21 hours of support every week.

Link also leases out affordable business units at West Bridge Mill, many of which are occupied by other charities, including Barnardos, Sycamore Project and WRVS.

Service users, Fife Council Leader Peter Grant, local councillor Alice Soper and representatives from the many organisations that work with LinkLiving have been invited to Friday's celebration.

Elaine Johnston, Director of LinkLiving, said: "LinkLiving has worked in partnership with Fife Council over the last 10 years, during which time our support staff have given hundreds of people the support and practical assistance they have needed to get their lives back on track."
