FEAT Trading CIC
Our Mission Fife Employment Access Trust (FEAT) have been working with Fife Council and developing plans to regenerate this once bustling public park since 2013. Silverburn Park was gifted to the town council in the 1970s from the Russell Family and for many years ran as an animal farm, a craft centre and hosted campers and a range of events. The activities and buildings closed during the 1990s, however the park has remained dear in the hearts of the local community and our aim is to regenerate the park for a sustainable future. We have a Vision for the Park which can be found in the Business Plan: "To develop Silverburn as a place of quiet enjoyment, supporting the health and wellbeing of the community, and respecting the habitat and biodiversity of the environment."
