Central Fife Centre of Mission
Glenrothes and Lochgelly, Fife
The Central Fife Centre of Mission is on the East Coast of Scotland between Edinburgh and Dundee and is a partnership with two Episcopal Churches, St Luke’s Glenrothes and St Finnian’s Lochgelly. In the 19th century Fife became a center for mining but since the late 1980’s the closure of the mines has meant local communities have struggled with significant challenges. The Fife Centre of Mission. led by Gerry Dillon, aims to reach people, make connections and address some of the needs of the local community.

We are led by the community through listening to them and what they need. Everything is about food now because the people were starving.
THE NEED IS SO DIRE WE HAVE A long WAITING LIST.
Our volunteers run the Pantry and we do a hot meal for folk several times a week. Lots of different people come to our mid-week community meal but there’s a core 30 who regularly attend. It’s a wonderful place to be – it’s about them.
One of the regulars first arrived at my door in bits just after the pandemic, saying that he had become more and more isolated and was really struggling. He asked if he could talk to me, and I said, ‘Of course, but as well, why don’t you and have something to eat’? and his eyes lit up. He was worried about the cost, as he said he had no money, but I told him to just bring himself.
He grabbed me a few weeks later and said, ‘I was at the very end, I had lost all hope and just happened to come to you because I saw your door open. There you were and there this group was, and it saved me. It’s literally saved my life.’
