2022-2023 was another busy year for Greener Kirkcaldy as our community faced the cost of living crisis. We launched Climate Action Fife, a Fife-wide partnership project to tackle the climate emergency. We worked with Kirkcaldy’s K107FM to share practical energy-saving tips. Lang Toun Cycles Community Bike Shop achieved Revolve accreditation. Lauren Brook became our new Chief Executive, stepping into the shoes of Suzy Goodsir.
Key stats:
