Principal activities of the company

The principal activity of My Cowdenbeath CIC is to build an awareness of the needs of the local community and to develop projects which contribute to the regeneration of the area socially, culturally and economically. In this year, our group have focussed on continuing to increase our reach and awareness in the local community, with work on our Local Place Plan and Community Action Plan. Following extensive engagement across the community, including the community survey with over 1,100 participants, we have a strong factual basis for our work moving forward which meets the priorities of local people. Our reach across our social and web feeds has seen remarkable growth in the year, with an incredible 960,000 views in the year. Our content is being seen, shared and we are a trusted source of local information. Our most popular posts are on issues that most affect local people, including the closure of our High St due to emergency roadworks, power cuts, storm updates and planning developments. 67% of our Facebook followers are from Cowdenbeath. We had visitors from 24 different countries reach our website in the year. Our project work continues to develop, with work on the NCB Workshops Cairn continuing and expected to be completed in the summer of 2025, and the Local Place Plan & Action Plan work being delayed due to illness, but on track to be complete by the end of 2025. Our winter drink safe resources were delivered to 17 local bars and pubs across the whole Cowdenbeath-Lochgelly area thanks to funding from Fife Council, with stock remaining to keep the focus on anti-spiking for many months to come. We were delighted to attend a number of community events and meetings across the year, including Cowdenbeath Gala Day and the Christmas Party and Lights Switch On events, Remembrance event and a number of helpful meetings with community stakeholders. Finally our efforts to create a monthly small business indoor market at the Masonic Hall were very popular with crafters and local enterprises. The markets ran for four months, but unfortunately footfall declined and it was agreed these would be paused. Our sincere thanks to all the stallholders and shoppers who came along to support the local businesses.
