The Big Hoose Project
Club made fact finding visit to Lochgelly Hub
The club visited the Big Hoose Fife Project which assists families in Fife who are experiencing hardship, see pictures.
The Cottage Family Centre and The Big Hoose Fife Project have signed an agreement with Amazon UK and other companies which will see household goods being distributed to children and families living in poverty across Fife.
The Big Hoose Fife Project will work in partnership with other charity’s, social workers, health visitors, schools, nurseries and other organisations across Fife to enable thousands of families access through a referral process to items such as bedding, clothing, footwear, kitchen items, towels, toilet roll, nappies, wipes, rugs, other household furnishings and goods.
Our referral process is relatively straight forward and if you are experiencing hardship please speak with a professional as they will be able to complete a referral on your behalf. This can be your social worker, health visitor, child’s school or any charity/organisation that supports children and families.
We want to make sure every child across Fife grows up in a household where they have a solid foundation, where they feel safe and secure and where parents don’t feel dehumanized and this project will ensure that we are a step closer to making this happen.
This project will also encourage recycling and reduce the number of items and goods that end up in landfill on a daily basis.
