The work was invaluable, according to Fife Voluntary Action chief executive Kenny Murphy.
“We have been working with a number of partners in Fife to come up with an innovative way of learning from people about their experiences of dealing with the pandemic,” he said.
“We’ve seen a huge number of positive stories about communities, volunteers and people coming together, giving up their time to help others and making their communities stronger to deal with the pandemic crisis.
“We’re interested in how individuals and community groups working alongside public services found new solutions together.
“We’d like to understand how these connections formed and what impact it had.”
THE Vine Centre in Dunfermline, who provided more than 100 people a day with a free meal during the pandemic, has been praised for it’s incredible work in a new report on the work of the church across Scotland during lockdown. The ‘Free Meals Dunfermline’ service has been described as a “life-saver” by those who were supported by the scheme. One of those who were impacted by the kindness of the church was a single-parent family, where the eldest child, a 10-year-old girl, is the main carer of the mum. The mum-of-two, who has a brain injury, was struggling to provide a well-balanced meal for her children as they would normally receive this when they were at school each day.
