Our administration costs are covered by generous sponsors, ensuring 100% of the money you donate will go where it’s needed.

Our Mission
In 1993, a group of local people set up the Fifeshire Foundation as a charitable Trust to raise money locally to support local people in need. Since 1993 our aim remains the same, to help people in crisis, and to help people make longer term changes in their lives.

Thank you so much for your kind help in paying for my teeth to be done, my licence, and food vouchers. Life has been such a struggle lately and we appreciate everything you have done for me and my little family.

About us
We are a Charitable Trust that gives assistance to local people in hardship and domestic crisis.
Looking out for locals
We support individual and families in need as well as the organisations
who work with people in need.
We know that many people in our region are coping with things like poverty, unemployment, health crises and domestic violence. In addition people may be managing to make ends meet, but then face a crisis or an unexpected extra expense and need somewhere else to turn.
