It’s a sobering statistic and sad reality that one child in every UK classroom under the age of 16 has experienced bereavement of a parent or sibling, with 44,000 children in the UK bereaved of a parent every year. Within Fife, Fife Health Charity helps young people deal with the impact of parental bereavement by funding the work of the Children and Families team at Fife Specialist Palliative Care.

Kirkcaldy-based Gallatown Gala & Community Group’s post-Covid project to reduce social isolation, improve mental health and encourage greater inclusion was funded by the NHS Charities Together Community Partnership Grants Programme via Fife Health Charity, enabling the development of volunteer community responders and to support community food champions.

Fife Health Charity has funded the purchase of new specialist reclining treatment chairs to improve the comfort of patients and aid staff in carrying out patient care.
