Our friend and volunteer at past Seafield beach clean-ups Suzy Goodsir got in touch this week with exciting news of a new venture right here in Kirkcaldy…

“I am writing to tell you about Greener Kirkcaldy - a new environmental community group - and our project to help people in the Kirkcaldy area to reduce their carbon footprints.

We plan to open an information centre in Kirkcaldy town centre, and to work with community groups and schools throughout the local area. This exciting new project will advise people on a range of environmental issues such as energy efficiency, greener transport options, waste reduction
and local food. It will help people to save money on their fuel bills, and encourage healthy choices and community activity. Visitors to the centre will be offered personalised advice and support, and project staff will also engage with the community via workshops, talks, events and a new website. We plan to open the centre in April 2010.

The Greener Kirkcaldy group would like to involve a wide range of other local organisations, community groups and individuals in this and other projects. We are currently recruiting for paid staff to manage and run the project - we are seeking three community workers plus a project
administrator. For more details of the jobs, please see our adverts on the Good Moves website -

There will also be opportunities for volunteers with a wide range of skills.

If you would like any more information about the project, or would like to get involved in any way, please get in touch! (Or see our Greener Kirkcaldy website).

Best wishes,
Suzy Goodsir
Chair, Greener Kirkcaldy”

We wish the team every success in this new endeavour and look forward to being involved to help out in any way we can.
