A charity which supports more than 1,280 families in Fife and beyond who are affected by autism has had to close its drop-in centre for a minimum of two weeks.
Autism Rocks (Fife) confirmed its Kaleidoscope facility in Buckhaven’s Randolph Street will have to shut for at least the next fortnight in response to concerns about the coronavirus outbreak.
The centre is normally open on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10am to 2pm.
Lisa Quin, chairwoman of Autism Rocks, said everyone associated with the charity had decided on the closure with “great regret”.
“We did not take this decision lightly and took advice from other organisations but due to the individuals we support , some very vulnerable health-wise , we have no choice but to limit social interaction,” she said.
“We are monitoring developments daily and will keep everyone updated on the situation.”
Liza said anyone requiring support or advice should still contact the charity by phone or via its Facebook page.
