This year’s Annual Gathering is a celebration of community ownership. 

In 2024, Greener Kirkcaldy has been celebrating five years of ownership of our community building at 8 East Fergus Place. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion of new ideas for the future of Kirkcaldy.

We look forward to welcoming our guest speakers, Alastair McIntosh and Mark White. And we will take the opportunity to celebrate our amazing volunteers who really bring the sense of community to our building and organisation as a whole.

At the gathering, we want to look to the future for Kirkcaldy and inspire new ideas in the community. This event is hosted in the Advantage Suite of the Adam Smith Theatre, Kirkcaldy.
