Using the map

A quick tour of how to find something to go to β€” whether that's a club for your kids, a class for yourself, a warm space, or a hot meal.

What you'll find here

This is a map of what's actually on in the East Neuk β€” youth clubs, coffee mornings, walking groups, courses, foodbanks, advice drop-ins, gala days and much else besides. It's put together by the East Neuk Youth Work Partnership, and the groups themselves keep their own entries up to date.

You don't need an account, and there's nothing to sign up for. Everything is free to look at, and a lot of what's listed is free to go to.

What's on near me

Tap πŸ“ Near me and the map will ask your browser where you are. It starts by showing things within half a mile, so you get your own village first rather than the whole of Fife.

Out in the country, or nothing showing? Change the distance box next to it β€” one mile, three, five, ten, or any distance at all. Listings get sorted nearest first, and each one tells you how far away it is.

Nothing happens when you tap it? Your browser is probably blocking location. You can still use everything else β€” just search for your village name instead.

Browsing by interest

Along the top of the list there's a row of tappable interests β€” sport and fitness, arts and music, food projects, learning, wellbeing, advice and help, outdoors, and youth. Tap one and both the list and the map narrow down to it. Tap more than one to widen the net again.

Food projectsmeans places where food is the point β€” a cafΓ©, a foodbank, a lunch club, a community meal. If you're just after somewhere that puts a cuppa and a biscuit out, use the 🍽 Food provided filter instead, which finds any group that feeds you whatever else it does.

Narrowing it down

Open Filters under the search box and you can narrow by:

  • What kind of thing it is β€” a regular group, a one-off event, a course, or a service you can use when you need it.
  • Who it's for β€” young people, families, adults, women, or all ages.
  • Whether there's food.

The search box looks across names, descriptions, venues and villages, so typing β€œCrail” or β€œknitting” both work.

If the list goes empty, you've probably got a tight distance on as well as a filter. The Clear filters button resets the lot, distance included.

Reading the listings

Each card tells you the important bits at a glance:

  • A green On now badge means it's running at this moment. Amber Today 6–8pm means it's on later today, and Tue 4pmtells you when it's next on.
  • A grey ⏸ Pausedbadge means the group is having a break, and it will say when they're back.
  • The price shows as Free, an amount like Β£3, or from Β£3 where there are different rates.
  • With Near meon, you'll also see how far away it is.

Using the map itself

Pins are coloured by what sort of thing they are β€” tap Key in the corner of the map if you want the colours explained.

A dark pin with a numberon it means several things happen at that same place. Tap it and you'll get the list, so a busy village hall doesn't hide four other things underneath it.

On a phone, the bar between the map and the list can be dragged up and down to give whichever one you want more room β€” drag it right down and the map disappears altogether, leaving you a plain list.

Once you tap something

Tap a card or View detailsand you get the full entry: what it is, who it's for, when it runs, what it costs and how to get in touch.

There are two buttons worth knowing about. 🧭 Get directions opens the place in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze. ⏰ Add to calendar puts it in your own calendar β€” and for a weekly group it adds the whole series, so you get a nudge every week rather than just once.

If it happens at a venue with other things on, there's a link to the venue page showing everything else that goes on there. Handy for finding out what else your local hall does.

Holidays and breaks

Plenty of groups stop for the school holidays and start again after. Where a group has told us, its listing goes grey and says when they're back, rather than vanishing β€” so you know it still exists and when to turn up.

Some listings are marked term time only. If you're thinking of going along during a holiday and it doesn't say either way, it's worth a quick message to the organiser first. Their contact details are on the listing.

Something wrong or missing?

Groups look after their own listings, so the odd thing will drift out of date. If you turn up to something that isn't running, or spot a wrong time or price, let us know and we'll chase it up β€” it helps everyone who looks after you.

Run something yourself and want it on the map? It's free, and you look after your own entry.
