CHIEF EXECUTIVE REPORT 2025
Funding remains a huge part of my remit and we were successful
with accessing a total of £128,676, to cover various projects. As
these funds are all restricted and rin
-fenced, it is an ongoing task
to ensure that we can continue to o
er our valued and uniquely
varied programme of user groups, social and community activities
and support to the community.
A successful Fundraiser in December with Columbo's brought us to
the end of 2025 with a full programme and full of optimism for
2025. Little did we know what 2025 was to bring
As you all know only too well, at the end of January this year we
were faced with the biggest battle I have seen in 29 years. The
horrendous dama
e from Storm Eown saw us lose a huge part of
the main hall roo ,
en all the interior of the hall was destroyed,
with extensive water damage reducing the hall to a husk. We did,
for a stressful few weeks, have to face the thought of closure. But
fortunately, our insurers came through for us and with outstandin
support and goodwill from the community, we were able to embar
on a very substsntial rebuild and here we are holding our AGM in
the refurbished Centre.
I want to thank all the Trustees, groups, staff volunteers who
hel ed us through the last eight months whicA saw us here toni
wit
a magnificent facility to offer to the community. But that is
next year's report so I will end this report with "We are still, and
will remain, in The Heart of The Community"
Welcome everyone and thank you for attending and supporting our
AGM. Although we ma
all think the last
ear has been all about the
drama of 'the roof on

e year 2024-2025 actually

Since our last annual meetin

roles as Centre Managers, ta

with a full programme
for all ages and interests, inclu2ing adding our very popular and
creative Le

to the sta
team and they have all ma
eagrea
contribu

work of the Centre, as have the new volunteers stepping up.
The Easter Trail in
artnershi
with the Rabbit Braes committ* was
again very success
antastic team of volunteers and very
enerous donations from the 1599 Kirkcaldy Lodge, Morrisons,
'n'M, Poundland and the general public via Love Kirkcaldy.
The summer Gala was very successful in June 2024, in partnership
with the Rabbit Braes committee. This community event is such an
ortant date in the Centre calendar but unfortunately is proving
e increasingly difficult with insurances and lack of volunteers.
Our Christmas community events were lovely as always - with lots
of fun an enchantin

hest profile day of the year
or Hosting Hope but they
do a wondelul job of providing a welcoming community lunch each
month throughout the year.
We continued to support the Ukrainian meal club which is so very
important to that community and included a love(y Christmas meal
for over 60 people. We also supported Fife Council's Cafe Inc meal
initiative over the school holidays, with additional support for local
families through the year.
We have maintained our long-standing support for the Kirkcaldy
Foodbank and a lot of work and support is done quietly in the back-
ground with the Centre becoming an immediate point of contact for
many. Partnership working and the donations from local food stores
have helped us deal with crisis situations for local people.
