Celebrate community ownership at our 2024 Annual Gathering

We’re excited to introduce the theme for the 2024 Greener Kirkcaldy Annual Gathering and AGM: Celebrating community ownership – what next for Kirkcaldy? 

What’s Happening?

This year Greener Kirkcaldy celebrates five years of owning our community building at 8 East Fergus Place. There are plenty of opportunities to discuss new ideas for the future of the town.

We also look forward to welcoming our guest speakers Alastair McIntosh and Mark White. And we will take the opportunity to celebrate our amazing volunteers who bring a true sense of community to our building and Greener Kirkcaldy as a whole.

At the gathering, we want to look to the future for Kirkcaldy and inspire new ideas in the community. The event takes place in the Advantage Suite of the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy.

Speakers

We are excited to welcome two guest speakers to this year’s gathering.

His books include Soil and Soul on land reform, Poacher’s Pilgrimage on spirituality and Riders on the Storm on climate change.

He is a founding Trustee of the GalGael Trust and an honorary professor in the School of Education at the University of Glasgow.
