Raise Your Shield
This project was a joint collaboration between S.H.I.E.L.D Fife & Fife College Creative Industries Faculty.
SHIELD are a self funded group relying on food and financial donations from the public. We deliver food parcels, click and collect, home cooked meals, clothing bank, and education bank items
The group's focus is OAPs and any working families struggling with furlong life, shielding individuals with no help, recently unemployed, pregnant, individuals who have key workers and who need food and other supplies.

Sarahs team would like to send a lot of love to all their friends
To the ones they know who meet and make the ends
How they've grown those little acorns they were little as a stone
Now they're reaching far and wide from home to home
To Dave. In Fareshare.
And Mary, with the dodgy knee
Tanveet, Mister Ali : plastic free
Right fae the E.S.C
Cora, Co-op, Baille Guifford too
They really helped us through
The mosque cooked up a storm to feed us all
Warm in the churches hall
We'll see the night as the day, before long
If we stand as a whole country strong
(Raise your) Shield!
Without your help where would we even be
Rain thanks upon the community
If you're up in the Orkney Isles or in The Central Belt
Get poverty ‘telt <shouted, distant 'Haw you!'>
Raise your shield!
You'll never know how much you really mean
to everybody in our special team
You're the superheroes out there pounding streets, happily
And you make it feel like we're together like a family
And we've come too far and fought too hard to give it all up now
Even when it seems the tide'll break the bow
(we'll show you how)
We raise a shield and it is made of sterner stuff
and we've had enough!
