Services & facilities
Adventure awaits at The Yard Fife! Zoom around on bikes and trikes, perfect your throws in our play area, or relax in our comfy hammocks. Inside our play hall, creativity knows no bounds with arts and crafts and messy play.
Everything we offer is child-centred. Our skilled staff are there to guide and support, but the play is child-led. This sense of ownership lets young people make choices, build friendships, and, most importantly, have fun!
We’re here to support you, too. Relax and connect with other families in a comfortable, non-judgemental space. Access helpful resources and enjoy a refreshing cuppa while your child plays freely.

Family Support
Supporting children and young people with disabilities means supporting their families, too. Our Family Support team is here to provide tailored assistance to every family that comes to The Yard whenever they need it, for as long as they need it.
What We Do
You know your child’s unique strengths and potential better than anyone, but navigating ASN support can be overwhelming. Our Family Support service is here to put an expert in your corner. Our Family Support Officers are well-connected with relevant organisations and can provide comprehensive support. Whether you need help with healthy sleep habits, Child Disability Payment applications, or just someone to talk to, we have the resources and partnerships to assist you.

Your Family Support Officer for Fife is Charlotte Ford
