Be Part of Something Local and Meaningful – Join Largo Communities Together

We believe in the power of community – and what we can achieve when we work together.

That’s why we hope as many people as possible from across our area will choose to become members of Largo Communities Together (LCT).

Our strength comes from our people – and it’s exciting to see what’s already happening when ideas, energy and support come together.

Who We Are

LCT serves a rural community of around 3,000 people across the East Fife villages of:
Lundin Links, Lower Largo, Upper Largo, Woodside, New Gilston, Newburn and Drumeldrie – including surrounding farms and rural homes. We’re lucky to be based right by Largo Bay on the beautiful Firth of Forth.

Our Growing Membership

We’re proud to have over 340 members already – but we’d love to see that number grow. The more members we have, the more representative, resilient, and effective we can be as a community-led charity.
