Cupar Food Bank delivers an extraordinary service in support of people right across north-east Fife.
The charity exists on the generous donations from local, businesses and organisations in and around Cupar.
Our conversation is with the Food Bank manager, Steve Blake, at a time when the cost of living is impacting on people's ability to support them - yet demand for their emergency help has never been greater.
We also discuss the project being led by Cupar Development Trust that is looking at the possibility of community ownership of County Buildings in Cupar - the site which includes the Food Bank premises - and what that might mean for their future and aspirations for a reimagined hub centred on food.
Steve and his colleagues have been an integral part of the project's story since it was first mooted in 2022. Four years on, it has morphed into a bigger plan - Growing Cupar's Future.
You can read more on the project and its progress that is being made through a year-long Strategic Review via this link to the Trust's website (https://www.cupardevelopmenttrust.co.uk/growing-cupars-future/).

Golf is good? Roger that!
A conversation with Roger McStravick - golf historian, writer and all-round golfing guru.
We met with Roger in the Swilcan Loft at the Old Course Hotel - looking out across the Old Course in St Andrews, the very home of golf.
Our chat covers Roger's earliest days in the game at Lurgan Golf Club in Northern Ireland where he aspired to play professionally, through his time at University and his ambition to become a course designer ... through the next stages where he 'discovered' writing, the passion of his career. He has published his 10th book this year on the extraordinary life of the St Andrean golfer, Allan Robertson.
You can find more on Roger, his books and his other projects - including talks and his support for commemorative initiatives in St Andrews - via his website on this link (https://www.rogermcstravick.com/).
Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested. Thank you.

What's happening in Cupar ...
A conversation with local developer, Andrew Craig, whose company - Stone Acre - plans to breathe new life into the derelict Watts site.
The property - built as the town's jail in the early 1800s - has had several incarnations. The name 'Watts' - taken from the seed merchant who made this site his own - remained when it became a pub with the adjoining Jordan's nightclub. Andrew makes reference to times he spent at the venue earlier in his life!
The former pub and club closed to the public shortly before Covid struck - almost six years ago. Since 2019, the property has fallen into a desperate state of disrepair.
We caught up with Andrew for a walk through conversation - to explore the site and discover more about him, his work and plans that, if successful, will transform what has become a sad eyesore on the road through Cupar.
You can read more on the plans via our Blog on this link (https://www.cuparnow.blog/2025/06/whats-happening/). And you can find more on Stone Acre via this link (https://stone-acre.com/).
