Social Media House Rules - www.fife.gov.uk/HouseRules

Our social media channels feature a variety of information from our services and partners, keeping you informed and up to date with what's happening across Fife. We're here to help in any way that we can, and we will always aim to be supportive and respectful in our posts and any comments we respond to. We want our social media channels to be safe, healthy, and open places for discussion and the exchange of views and we have the following house rules to help support that.

- All users must comply with the social media platform's terms of use as well as our own
terms of use.

- We answer enquiries/messages as soon as possible within working hours: 0900 to 1700hrs
Monday to Friday.

- We will remove, in whole or in part, posts that we feel are inappropriate – for example
bullying or harassment - or discriminatory against any individual or group

- You are wholly responsible for any content you post including content you choose to share

- We will remove messages (where function allows) and report and/or block users on our
social media channels who post messages at us which we believe are:

- abusive or obscene
- deceptive or misleading
- in violation of any intellectual property rights, including copyright
- in violation of any law or regulation
- spam and off-topic content (persistent negative and/or abusive posts in which the aim is
to provoke a response)
- promotional material, including links to external websites and promotions

Anyone repeatedly engaging with us using content or language which falls into the above categories will be blocked and/or reported to the associated social media platform. We will not tolerate or respond to abusive messages. We must always remain politically neutral on social media which is why council officers are unable to reply to, endorse or engage with, any content that is of a party political nature. Political issues can be discussed with local councillors.

Step through the doors of Fife’s fascinating history!

Join in Doors Open Days 2026 – Scotland’s largest free festival that gives you the chance to explore Fife’s rich history, architecture, and cultural heritage across three weekends starting this weekend (5-6 September) in East Fife.

From iconic landmarks to hidden architectural gems, many of these places are often not normally accessible, and for this weekend, they will offer you free entry and behind the scenes access.

You’ll be able to explore a diverse mix of buildings and spaces that will open their doors to locals and visitors alike, offering exciting opportunities to experience guided tours, expert talks, and family-friendly activities, trails, and exhibitions. Most venues don’t require booking, although some may have limited capacity or scheduled tours.

Venues this weekend include Crail Museum and Heritage Centre, Boarhills Doocot and Auld Kirk Tayport. You can also visit the Jim Matthew camera collection in St Monans, the largest collection of cameras and photographic equipment in the UK.

Fife Council is celebrating our foster carers, the ordinary things they do every day that make an extraordinary difference, and the support from us and friendships they have with one another that make fostering so rewarding at our annual Fife Foster Carers Conference. ❤️

Over 70 of the council's carers attended the event on Thursday 27 August.

Our foster carers got to enjoy workshops and a wellbeing marketplace to help them look after themselves, featuring wellbeing-focused services, foster carer-led support groups, therapy dogs, and therapy taster sessions.

Our foster carers also got to hear about the support groups Fife Council's Fostering and Permanence Resource Teams run for carers, including the Men's group for male carers, New Carers Group, Permanence Support Group, and Teenage Support Group.

"We need all sorts of people to become full or part-time foster carers. You being you is perfect." - Debbie Adamson, Family Based Care Service Manger

You can also join our monthly webinars on the last Tuesday of each month or pop along to Cupar or Duloch libraries on the first Tuesday of each month to have a chat with one of our Fife Council Fostering team: https://foster.fife.scot/events

Fife Council has reached another important milestone in its ambitious Affordable Housing Programme with the completion of 44 new Council houses in Lochgelly, including a purpose-built extra care facility that will be operated by the Council.

The development has transformed a vacant site at the former Jenny Gray House care home into a modern community of energy-efficient properties for older residents, helping meet local housing need while supporting independent living.

The new development, which has been delivered by main contractor Robertson Partnership Homes, comprises 20 amenity bungalows and a 24-flat residential extra care facility, designed for people aged 55 and over with a range of care and support needs.

The project forms part of Fife Council's commitment to deliver Council houses across the region and to provide housing that enables people to live independently for longer.

Discovering Nature in Fife week was a great success – thank you everyone who came along to our event at Beveridge Park on Sunday and learned more about nature and how to submit records of your nature sightings. 🎉🌿🦉

You can record the nature you see all year round – in fact, we’d love it if you do just that!

The more records Fifers submit on the free iRecord app, the better Fife Nature Records Centre knows about local wildlife and plant life and where species occur. This helps inform planning and decision making, supporting the conservation of Fife's nature. 🐛🌳

We want help recording all kinds of plants and wildlife, so all records are welcome.

🔍 Find video guides and information on how to get started with iRecord https://irecord.org.uk/help/how-do-i
