Our next event is 26 Nov 2024 - Reya Tandoori night (Leslie) - come and eat and 50% of meal cost is donated to us!

Nov 2023 update - we have received planning options from Fife Council and will share these via the Gateside Park fb group - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552340754296.

Fife Council have also allocated us £50k from a Scottish Gov funding pot they will have for 2025/26 so we are a third of the way on our journey! We are super excited!

We are a small community who in recent years have lost our school & pub. We have a village hall which remains our centre of activity as well as our play park which currently is looking sad & run down.

We are raising funds for updated park equipment which will also make our park more inclusive & accessible to all ages in our community.

We understand how outdoor play is vital to the physical, social & emotional development of young people as well as being crucial to health and well-being of all ages.
