Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity.
We want our town to be a good place to live. We believe in a future where everyone has a say in what happens locally, people work together to protect our environment, and those in hardship are supported to live well, too.
We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people.
Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.
We currently employ 40 staff, have around 100 regular volunteers and nearly 1000 members. We are governed by a volunteer management committee, elected from our membership. Anyone in the Kirkcaldy area can become a member.
We are currently working on a number of projects surrounding Climate Action, Community, Energy, Food, Growing, Transport and Waste Reduction.
We hold various cooking workshops, courses and community meals in our Lang Spoon Community Kitchen, helping people improve their cooking skills, reduce food waste, and eat local, seasonal food. We also run a community training garden at Ravenscraig Walled Garden where we host regular volunteer sessions, training and events.
We lead the Cosy Kingdom partnership providing a home energy advice service across Fife. The partnership helps over 4,000 homes a year keep warm and save money.
Our Lang Toun Cycles community bike shop is located on Kirkcaldy high street offering cycle servicing and repairs, sales of refurbished bikes and accessories, a bike borrowing scheme and bike maintenance workshops.
Our newest project – Climate Action Fife, is an innovative Fife-wide project, working with cross-sector partners to trial different activities to tackle the climate emergency.
