20 May 2025 FUNDING FOR SPECIAL SEAWEED DAY IN METHILHILL
Taking place on Saturday 6 September, the first event in our Fife Seaweed Fest Programme is a Seaweed Fun Day at Methilhill Community Children’s Initiative (Methilhill). It will be a celebration of coastal culture and creativity, bringing families together through art, play, and the wonders of our local shorelines. We'll be making and tasting using an array of locally collected seaweeds fresh from the beach!
This project is a collaboration with Heids and Herts Scotland which has announced this year's eight Village Creative Projects across North East Fife and the East Neuk as part of the 2025 Village Creative initiative. Now in its third year, Village Creative supports local organisations to co-design and deliver inclusive, imaginative projects that bring people together — using creativity as a powerful tool to foster community connection and promote mental wellbeing.
Funded by the Fife Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, managed by Fife Voluntary Action with support from the Scottish Government, the programme demonstrates the positive impact that grassroots creativity can have on health, happiness and belonging.
Since its launch in 2022, Village Creative has supported everything from village murals and local festivals to music sessions, community films, heritage walks, intergenerational photography projects and more — all designed to tackle social isolation and bring people together through shared creativity.
