LinkLiving's 'Sponsor the Sparkle' lights up Kirkcaldy
LinkLiving lit up the Kirkcaldy night sky on Thursday 4 December as colleagues , volunteers, and sponsors gathered for the annual "switch on" event for our ‘ Sponsor the Sparkle ’ fundraising campaign.
Each LED star on LinkLiving's West Bridge Mill building was sponsored by an individual business, contributing vital funding to support our work across Scotland. Sponsorship has now raised over £20,000.
West Bridge Mill is a vibrant hub for LinkLiving's work in Fife, with a portion of the building reserved for supported temporary accommodation for up to 32 people experiencing homelessness. There, LinkLiving Support Workers adopt a trauma-informed approach to work with each resident, developing a tailored personal support plan which helps them learn independent living and employability skills.
Sarah Smith, Executive Director of Communities at Link Group, said: "Sponsor the Sparkle is always a highlight in the LinkLiving calendar, giving us an opportunity to get together and celebrate another year of hard work by our staff and volunteers."
"We've been running this campaign for four years now, and the beautiful shining stars have become a recognisable landmark in Kirkcaldy in the run up to Christmas. We're extremely grateful to this year's sponsors for their contributions, which will have a tangible impact on the lives of the people we support."
The final phase of the campaign runs right up until Christmas, with individuals and businesses invited to contribute to a JustGiving fundraiser .
