GoFibre supports winter meal initiative in Burntisland

GoFibre has donated £1,500 to Burntisland-based community project, Supper at the Sally, which will be used to support a winter meal initiative that kicked off on the 30th of December at the local Salvation Army Hall. 

During the pop-up event, attendees were encouraged to pay what they could towards a filling three-course winter meal, with the excess funds being reinvested into future suppers.

GoFibre’s contribution helped cover the costs of local ingredients, cooking appliances, and venue hire.

Supper at the Sally was piloted in January 2023 to foster community connections in a welcoming environment, combatting social isolation and alleviating the challenges of the cost-of-living crisis.

Two members of GoFibre’s team volunteered on the day, Karyn Psyl and Joe Young.

Karyn Psyl, Senior HR Business Partner at GoFibre, said: “This important local initiative provides members of the community with precious company and a delicious hot meal at a value that works for them, alongside the opportunity to volunteer and learn skills that can support professional and personal development."

Nearby, GoFibre’s construction continues in Newport-on-Tay and Tayport with plans to expand the full fibre network to seven additional locations, including Comrie, Ballingry and St Andrews. Upon completion, more than 30,000 residents and businesses will be addressed by the altnet in Fife.
