Our Mission & Vision is to bring together different parts of our communities
RISE Forth Valley works to empower racialised communities across the Forth Valley by promoting equity, challenging discrimination, and celebrating diversity.We create safe, inclusive spaces for learning, connection, and growth — supporting people to develop skills, take part in community life, and help build a society based on respect, understanding, and shared opportunity.
A fair and inclusive Scotland where people from all backgrounds are valued, have equal opportunities, and can thrive together in connected and empowered communities.
We help people from racialised and minority backgrounds to be treated equally and to reach their full potential.
We speak up for our communities and work to remove discrimination and racism from Scottish institutions, policies, and everyday practices.
We encourage people from all backgrounds in the Forth Valley to get involved in their communities. We do this by promoting equality, removing barriers such as language and isolation, and offering support in areas like training, health, education, and cultural heritage.
We bring people together to celebrate Scotland’s diverse cultures, promote respect and understanding, and help communities connect and work together.
We offer learning opportunities, training, and youth programmes that build skills, confidence, and participation in community and civic life.
We run projects that provide safe, welcoming spaces—especially for women and children—to learn, socialise, and grow together.
We welcome volunteers, partners, and supporters who share our vision of an inclusive and thriving Forth Valley.Join us in creating positive change — together, we RISE.
