Based in Kirkcaldy, Nourish Support Centre provides much needed and life-changing support to families in Fife who have additional support needs.
Founded in 2011, Nourish was established by five parents who all had children with additional support needs. They wanted to address the significant gaps in support available for families in their situation and understood the daily challenges they face.
With lived experience of having children with additional support needs, or having a disability themselves, those at the helm of Nourish Support Centre ensure that our services are meeting the needs of our service users. By speaking with families using our services, and finding out where the gaps in support are, we ensure we deliver services that are meeting needs of vulnerable people in our community.
MISSION STATEMENT
We aim to support and improve the wellbeing of people and families in Fife who have additional support needs.
Bringing families together – meeting with other families in a similar situation provides vital support, reduces feelings of isolation, and improves wellbeing.
Support for the whole family - Having a child with additional support needs usually means parents become carers, and siblings become young carers. We aim to support parents, carers, siblings, adults, and children with additional support needs. Extended family members also providing support, can also access our services.
Holistic support in a one stop shop – we know the different challenges facing families with additional support needs and we understand the importance of being able to access a wide range of emotional, practical, and financial support in one place.
Provide a one stop shop for families to access information on support available to them.
