Support Fairway Fife with Tech Donations

Description

Fairway Fife is a Peer Mentoring Charity involving people with learning disabilities from 16 years of age.

Fairway Fife are based in Dunfermline and aim to encourage and support people with learning disabilities (aged 16 and over) to access social and leisure facilities within their local communities and achieve this by matching members with Peer Mentors (professionally supported, committed volunteers, often non-disabled young adults of a similar age).

"We want to make a positive difference by recruiting professionally supported committed volunteers who can support our members on their exciting journey. By using a variety of activities as a vehicle, caring relationships can be formed and both members and peer mentors' lives may be enhanced from the benefits gained, helping them all to achieve their highest potential."

 

They offer their members a range of activities like sports activities, going to the cinema and meals, and tasks like shopping. Through the support offered by the team and their peer mentors, they are able to build friendships, help reduce isolation, improve confidence, and help members strive towards living their dreams. 

 

 

 

 

How can you Support Fairway Fife? 

As a charity they are dependant on funding which in the current climate is challenging. Their members often use tablets / ipads/ laptops or iphones for online activities and often these see very heavy usage and need to be replaced. 

The team would appreciate donations of or towards replenishing their stock so that more members can use the technology to aid their experience.
