Working together for a better future: Annual Gathering & AGM

This year’s Annual Gathering focuses on organisations in Kirkcaldy that work tirelessly to create a future where everyone can live better. In May, we launched our Strategic Plan 2023-28 which sets out our ambitions for the years ahead. 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.

At the gathering, we want to highlight what others in Kirkcaldy are doing to support that ambition too and explore how we can work together to achieve our goals.
