ExxonMobil Fife Ethylene Plant helps Lumphinnans care home bloom

Residents at a care home in Lumphinnans are enjoying an updated garden thanks to a £2,000 donation from ExxonMobil Fife Ethylene Plant and a team of willing workers.

Lindsay House Care Home - which provides support for up to 60 residents, many of whom live with dementia - welcomed volunteers from ExxonMobil FEP who worked on the garden alongside the Grounds Maintenance team at Fife Council.

The hardy team of engineers, led by Connor Kane, ExxonMobil FEP Projects Group Head, spent hours working through the day, replacing 6 tonnes of topsoil and planting a range of shrubs and bedding plants to enhance the outdoor space.

The visit marked the second time the ExxonMobil FEP team has supported the care home. In 2024, volunteers from the plant visited to fully renovate the garden, transforming the essential space into one that is useable for both residents and staff.

Lindsay House Care Home is just one of several community projects supported by ExxonMobil FEP to celebrate its 40th anniversary this year.

“After being contacted by Lumphinnans Community Council with a request to revisit the garden at Lindsay House Care Home, we were happy to oblige,” said Connor. 

“With over 40 years as part of the Fife community, we are dedicated not only to building relationships but also to nurturing and maintaining them. As a local employer, we take pride in supporting initiatives where our skills can give back to the communities where our employers live and work.”
