About Frontline Fife

Frontline Fife (FLF) is a midsized, Scottish registered charity which works across Fife to promote independent living and the prevention of housing insecurity and homelessness.

As a fundamental premise, we believe that everyone has the right to live in a safe and secure home which meets people's needs and that everyone should be empowered to make life decisions which not only matter to them but also give way to opportunity, independence and empowerment.

Our work is founded on strength-based approaches. We accept everyone’s life experiences can and should be harnessed and developed and that people should be enabled to make informed choices to live the life they choose.
