Orange Friday

Help prevent homelessness in Fife

Orange Friday is a fundraising event organised by Frontline Fife Homelessness Services, a charity working across Fife to prevent homelessness and transform lives.

This year we are aiming to raise £15,000 to help provide food parcels to those in emergency need, assist with our leaving home education programme in schools and pay for another successful activities programme which assisted people with employability, self-confidence and teamwork.

The annual report on the state of poverty and social exclusion in the UK is now available from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the New Policy Institute.

Each report, using official government data, is built around a set of 50 indicators. The analysis covers a wide range of issues, ranging from low income, worklessness and debt, to ill-health, poor education and problems in communities.

Accounts Summary

A domestic abuse court is to be piloted in Edinburgh to try to improve the way allegations are dealt with in the criminal justice system.

It will be carried out at Edinburgh Sheriff Court next year and will see specialist prosecutors, police liaison officers, advocacy workers and sheriffs come together.
