About us

Fife Voluntary Action (FVA) is the third sector interface for the Fife Council area. Our job is to ensure the third sector is robust, resilient and delivers high quality services for the people of Fife. We support, develop and represent community groups, voluntary organisations, social enterprises and volunteering. We have almost 30 staff covering these activities across Fife, operating from our offices in Glenrothes, Cupar and Kirkcaldy. We provide a wide range of support to third sector organisations and have expertise in a wide range of skills and topics including governance, funding, legislation, policy, volunteering, managing people, planning and problem solving. If you have any queries, concerns or difficulties then please contact us - almost all of the support we offer is provided at no cost.

  • We all think about helping others at this time of year, and we can help make that really easy for you. Giving your time to help people and organisations in your community can be a real feelgood experience, helping to support people who need it most. Volunteering is about helping yourself too. You might meet interesting people, develop new skills, or become more physically active. You can help to improve the community you live in, get to know others and offer invaluable support. Local volunteers Peter, Claire, Rachel, Louise and Catherine share their experience and how they've given back to their community - https://lnkd.in/eKjRxF9e Get involved - https://lnkd.in/dvHCb6p6 #VolunteeringForFife
