Our 2023-2028 strategic plan, A Greener and Fairer Tomorrow, Starting Today, sets out our ambitions for the years ahead. It gives us a route map for planning our projects and services.
We want our town to be a good place to live and work. We believe in a future where everyone has a say in what happens locally, people are working together to protect our environment and those in hardship are supported to live well.

How we created the plan
We developed the plan after consulting with our staff, volunteers, members and the wider community. We started by gathering ideas and experience from our staff and volunteers.
We continued the conversation with the wider community. We held a workshop at our November 2022 Annual Gathering, pop-up events in Kirkcaldy town centre and an online community survey. Over 350 people from our community gave us their ideas and feedback. Read more about our consultation.
