About Opportunity
Fife Boomerang offers a programme of activities to people with mental health issues. The aim is to encourage socialisation and reduce isolation and boredom. The driver is required to pick up members from main bus stations in Leven, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline and take them to wherever that day's trip is going. A volunteer will accompany the group and the driver. Drivers must be over the age of 25 or hold a licence that allows them to drive a 16 seater minibus.
