The Well near me

The Well staff are delighted to announce that we can still reach out to the public and provide support, information, and advice, using The Well Near Me.

Start video call

Every Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursday 10am to 12noon and every Monday and Thursday  1pm to 3pm you can join our Well Near Me Waiting Room to speak to a staff member on things that matter to you.

This ensures that we can continue to provide you with support whilst keeping you safe.  

The Well Near Me allows you to have a video conversation with our staff from your own home. All you need is a device for making video calls (smartphone, tablet, laptop), internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and Chrome or Safari Internet Browser. 

Due to the high volume of video calls we receive, we might not be able to answer all. If you wish to receive a virtual Well appointment email TheWell@fife.gov.uk with your name, phone number and a brief explanation of the topic you wish to discuss.

The Well Near Me can also offer a BSL interpreter. If you require a BLS interpreter you must book an appointment via the above email, or SMS 07984 356580.

Please note that The Well Near Me now has a phone line, for those who don’t have access to technology or internet. The phone line is active the same times as the Wells, if you wish to speak to our staff please call: 03451 551500
