Carers lives can be busy and complex in a way that "normal" life isn't. This can often lead to feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope and this stress can make carers feel ill - physically, emotionally and mentally. Stress is a very common problem but you don't need to be stuck with it. Learning to deal with stress can make a huge positive difference. Step on Stress classes aim to help you manage your stress. There are simple things that we can learn to do that can really help and the short course provides practical tools and techniques that you can use in everyday life.

As Volunteers' Week approaches (01-07 June), we are putting the finishing touches to the first of our special edition Volunteering in Fife bulletins! These bulletins come out monthly (sometimes twice a month) and are full of details about new and refreshed volunteering opportunities all over Fife. They also include any opportunities we know about for one-off volunteering, such as an event volunteer, and we add in any training and other news we have relevant to volunteers. What's different about our next bulletin, is that it will feature stories specific to the themes of Volunteers' Week and will showcase the celebration of volunteers and what organisations across Fife are doing to recognise their volunteers. The bulletins will also have their usual content.
