    Here at FVA we hosted our annual Peer Support Network Celebration event at the end of 2025. It was a day filled with, hope, connection and inspiration.

    With our largest turnout to date with over 40 attendees, we started the day with an uplifting performance from SocialiSING  - a fantastic local community choir. We were then privileged to hear about the peer work and projects that are happening throughout Fife and stories that gave us an insight in to the lives of the people that this invaluable work has helped to support and recover.

    We had so many wonderful nominations to be recognised as a Peer Champion for both individuals, projects and organisations. We were delighted to have Dr Andy Summers CPsychol Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Head of Adult Mental Health Psychology for NHS Fife to present the awards on the day.

    Congratulations to our Peer Champions for 2025!
