Within Fife there are a range of organisations, services and groups that can help people find the right information, guidance and support within their local community.

The Well

The Well allows people to speak to Health and Social Care professionals and discuss any enquiries in relation to their health and wellbeing. The service is for anyone 16+ looking for advice and support.

Their friendly staff are there to empower people and to find solutions to problems quicker and easier, giving them the right information at the right time.

They can provide support, information and guidance on topics such as social care, carer support, social isolation, housing, benefits, bereavement, or anything that matters to individual.
