The Play@home activity scheme, originally set up in 1999 by Fife Council and Fife Primary Care NHS Trust, will receive 35,000 from both the council's Children's Services Committee and the NHS Fife Board. The three-step activity programme offers parents fun ways to interact with their children and stimulate co-ordination and activity from birth to nursery age. Fife's chair of children's services, councillor Helen Law said, 'Play@home is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when agencies combine their skills to provide joined-up services tailored to meeting the needs of children.'
