FAITH BASED ETHOS.
The charity was founded by a local church called Grace Church in 2014 along with the like minded members of the community who wanted to see love, faith and acceptance flourish in our community and a desire to see this start with young people. The media would like to portray that this generation is broken, damaged and anxious beyond repair but we know that the opposite is true, young people are brilliant, resilient, full of life and potential and our goal is to give the young people of Dunfermline a place to shine and grow in a safe space where staff and volunteers believe in them and want them to win at every opportunity, nurturing self esteem, aspirations and inspiring hard work to embrace natural talents and create moments of love and kindness by fostering environments of positive praise, community and celebration.
OPEN TO ALL
All young people are welcome in Heart and Sound and made to feel welcome from any background or walk of life.
