Buckhaven Annual Update 2023
Written March 2024
2023 was an exciting year in Buckhaven with lots happening and many new ideas developing in the area. Corra’s new Co-ordinator Neill started in April by building and rebuilding connections, supporting existing activities and working with local people and partners to develop new ones. This has included:
- Community Cinema – working in partnership with a group of local volunteers and Fife Council CLD to deliver four highly successful screenings.
- Cosy Café and Larder– supporting the Baptist Church and its volunteers through changes in the delivery model and staffing in partnership with Fife Council CLD, FareShare and others.
- Step Up Group at Levenmouth Academy – supporting a group of young people to deliver a
Mental Health Day and develop a sustainable pupil-led wellbeing group. - Heritage Regeneration Project – taking the first steps in working with a variety of partners to
ensure that this process is community-led and as productive for Buckhaven as possible.
Through these and many other community activities in Buckhaven, and from organisations including Cook and Share, CLEAR, The Community Council, The Community Trade Hub and more, there is real potential to work together towards shared aims around community, reducing poverty and contributing to regeneration in Buckhaven.
