Who are FIDN?

Fife Independent Disability Network is a disability-led organisation who are a registered charity. We work to improve access to services and equality of opportunity for all disabled people in Fife.

Members from all over Fife come together every two months to discuss disability issues, raise concerns and decide on courses of action to take. Individual members are also involved in a number of consultative groups, generally with statutory organisations such as the NHS and Fife Council. We also produce a quarterly newsletter.

What does FIDN do?

• Provision of information
• Research and Campaigning
• Involvement in Consultations
• Community Action
• Opportunities to meet with other people who have a disability

FIDN listen to members of the public and their concerns. We then decide collectively on the best course of action.
