✨ A New Chapter for Fife Shopmobility in Kirkcaldy! ✨

It was a real pleasure to welcome Roz McCall MSP, Councillor Judy Hamilton, Councillor Alastair Cameron, and our wonderful staff, trustees, and volunteers—past and present—to the official opening of our new Mercat shop in Kirkcaldy.

This new space brings us closer to the shops, services, and the people who make this community so special. It’s brighter, more visible, and more connected—and we hope, even more welcoming. 💙
This move is more than a change of address—it’s a renewal of purpose: ensuring that everyone, regardless of mobility challenges, can enjoy freedom, confidence, and independence in everyday life.
As we settle into our new home, we look forward to continuing that work—offering the same trusted service, the same friendly faces, and the same unwavering commitment to helping people move freely and live fully.

Thank you to our partners, users, volunteers, and supporters—you are the heart of Fife Shopmobility. 💙

Fife Shopmobility is delighted to announce an exciting new chapter in our journey! 🎉

📅 From today, 1st July, we are now open for business at our new shop in the Mercat Centre, Kirkcaldy!
