FAIRWAY FIFE
Is a new and innovative project, initiated by Fife Council's West Fife Community Support Services (WFCSS), and now operated by an independant Management Committee to enhance the service we provide for our Young Adults with learning disabilities. We recognise that all people have their own unique gifts and strengths to contribute positively to their own community.
Our aim is to encourage the Young Adults to strive to live their dreams through the support of young non-disabled adults of the same age.
Making a positive difference, by recruiting professionally supported committed volunteers (Peer Mentors) who can help our Young Adults access the everyday experiences that non-disabled Young Adults will take for granted. This could be as simple as going bowling, shopping, clubbing or just ‘hanging out’ with a pizza and a dvd- chatting about everyday issues most young adults will face.
Other benefits gained are the many opportunities available to Peer Mentors, such as the opportunity to complete Youth Acheviement Awards, Millennium Volunteer Awards, Points towards Degree courses etc. - not to mention, making new friends and having fun-all for free!!
