02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Touch Trust exists to reduce poverty, improve wellbeing, advance learning and reduce isolation in Touch and the wider Dunfermline community. We provide practical, grassroots support for children, families and adults, particularly people facing disadvantage or barriers to accessing services. We run a welcoming community hub offering one-to-one support, advocacy, youth and family activities, community groups, volunteering opportunities and registered out of school childcare. We build trusted relationships, listen to people's circumstances and help them access practical assistance and specialist support. Working with local people, volunteers and partner organisations, we bring services into the area that offer clear benefits.
