Our Background

Definition

 

Companionship : is having someone you know and like with you, rather than being on your own.    Collins English Dictionary.

​

​

Care and Share Companionship was originally established by Teresa Naylor in April 2019, and despite the challenges that came with managing a small and very young charity during the Covid Pandemic, Care and Share has thrived. 

​

So why do we do what we do? Social and community dynamics have changed and chronic loneliness is a growing global issue, with a deepening effect on our health and wellbeing.

​

We endeavour to provide opportunities for social engagement and participation for our 'Friends' to promote health, wellbeing and belonging. We are supported by our fantastic and dedicated Board of Trustees and we are deeply grateful to our funding by the Fife Health & Social Care Partnership.  We also receive donations from organisations and families of the people we visit.

​

We would love to hear from potential volunteers who may have a few hours to offer a lonely isolated person, and support us to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to be fully engaged in their community. 

​

Following Teresa's well deserved retirement in February 2024, Brenna Nyznik and Kim O'Brien have since taken up the reins as Manager and Community Coordinator, and are now looking to build and expand upon the wonderful community foundations that Care and Share has built, so that we may continue to grow and support increasing numbers of elderly people living in isolation and loneliness in and around Kirkcaldy.
