Fife Housing Group's recent ‘Being well’ community event welcomed tenants and locals to celebrate wellbeing in all its forms, with an afternoon full of positivity, socialising and support at the 24th Fife Scout Hall in Kirkcaldy.
With a focus on the four foundations of wellbeing – financial, mental, physical and social – the event provided an inclusive and engaging space for all ages. Attendees enjoyed a variety of activities, from guided yoga sessions and calming breathing exercise to informative chats with local support organisations, including Change Mental Health, Greener Kirkcaldy, Andy's Man Club, Cosy Kingdom, the Salvation Army and Fife Boomerang.
A highlight of the day was the free fruit and vegetable stand, where visitors could pick up fresh produce to take home, while staying hydrated with a refreshment station offering fruit and herb-infused water and other healthy treats. Families particularly enjoyed the kids' activity corner, which kept little ones busy with ceramic painting and drawing.
The top giveaway was a complete yoga kit, which guests had the chance to win by entering a prize draw – a perfect complement to the wellness theme and a great way to support continued practice at home.
Melissa Birrell, Engagement Officer at Fife Housing Group, shared her thoughts on the day: 'We were thrilled with the positive energy everyone brought to the event. It was inspiring to see people of all ages coming together to explore what wellbeing means to them, and we're grateful to all of our partners who helped make it such a warm, welcoming and supportive environment for those who attended.'
The social landlord plans to host a second ‘Being well’ event at St Ninian's Parish Church in Dunfermline on Wednesday 25 June from 16:00 to 18:00.
