National Climate Emergency Briefing

Thornhill Development Trust worked with Forth Environment Link (FEL) on the Thornhill Energy Project. Now, they are bringing you news of an interesting event- The National Emergency Briefing.

FEL is working in partnership with the Macroberts Art Centre in Stirling to host a screening of the National Emergency Briefing on June 17th. Hosted by Chris Packham, this film spells out the risks to both the environment and people of the Climate and Biodiversity Crises, but also provides credible, positive responses available to us to adapt to current climate change and mitigate further, future Climate Change. To attend this FREE screening follow this link: National Emergency Briefing Bookings.

Across Forth Valley, there are already many fantastic groups, projects, and events making a positive difference for nature and local communities. FEL’s aim is to celebrate, connect, and support these existing efforts, helping to share ideas, strengthen partnerships, and add value wherever they can.

Community Collaboration Update

McLaren Community Futures (MCF) consists of the 10 community organisations covering the McLaren High School catchment area. this includes Thornhill Development Trust. MCF came together, in December 2024, with the hope of accessing sizeable grants to help communities respond to climate change now and in the future.

They are waiting on the outcome of a large funding application to help progress this work. It has been really encouraging to see what joining together with other communities has already started to do. That collaboration is helping strengthen our rural voices and we were delighted to see MCF featured in The Scotsman and other publications
