It was great to welcome Police Scotland Fife Division’s ‘Kickstart’ initiative to East End Park today for a full day of lessons, tours and exciting behind the scenes access at DAFC.Kickstart is a partnership programme which supports children’s emotional wellbeing, develops resilience and promotes achievement through the theme of football with support from Fife Council, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, SACRO and Active Schools Fife, as well as Cowdenbeath, Kelty Hearts and Dunfermline Athletic Football Club.
The scheme aims to engage with them ahead of transitioning to secondary school and teaches them skills such as teamwork, decision making, problem solving, social responsibility and ways to improve their health and wellbeing.
