    Fife Health and Social Care Partnership's Community Chest aims to fund local projects, which are for the benefit of unpaid carers. In Fife there are over 47,000 unpaid carers and our objective is to fund community projects which will allow unpaid carers to create supportive places, develop their sense of belonging and improve their wellbeing through this funding.

    Round two of this funding closed on 15 January 2024 and all applicants have now been advised of the outcome of their application. 

    The following organisations have received round two funding and can provide support for a wide range of carers.
