Last year, with the support of the Catalyst Award, the Cupar Development Trust developed an outline business case for Cupar Foodstation, a food-themed enterprise and welfare hub in Cupar, offering a community-led solution and a people-centred approach delivered through local organisations and food producers.

The Trust now hopes to build on the momentum and use the Change Award to build a case for a community asset transfer with the Cupar Foodstation as its core, enabling public, third sector and private entities to work together as part of a unique community hub. The study aims to demonstrate community support, organisational viability, and best value. Its findings will help shape a strategy to deliver long‑term social, economic, and environmental benefits for Cupar and its surrounding communities.
