We are a Forth Valley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 based charity focusing on empowerment, citizenship, supporting families & young people.

Thank you to everyone who came to our RISE Forth V Thank you to everyone who came to our RISE Forth Valley AGM 2026. 💚

It was great to hear from each of our projects, and directly from some of our members, about all of the hard work that has been done over the last year to promote inclusion and community for our families.

We shared some delicious food and shared new ideas on how we can better support young people, carers, parents, and new faces in our community. Everyone is welcome here, and we are thankful for every person who came to a RISE event in 2025.

This video was created for our AGM to showcase the year's highlights, and we are pleased to share our successes here!

Here's to another brilliant year as a charity 😊
Today marks five years since the murder of Fawziya Today marks five years since the murder of Fawziyah Javed, yet some days still carry the same weight, the same sadness, and the same memories.

RISE Forth Valley staff were honoured to be invited along to a memorial service organised by her family, to remember her and the injustice of her death.

May Fawziyah's memory inspire us to speak louder, stand stronger and keep fighting for a world built on dignity, compassion, equality and justice.

*Remember her. Honour her. Keep fighting. Never stop believing that change is possible.*

🕊️ Five years on, her memory lives on not only in our hearts, but in the fight for a better and safer world.

Please consider visiting her memorial bench which can be found along the pathway near Saint Leonard's Bank, and supporting The Fawziyah Javed Foundation:

RACE (Racial Action for Climate Equity) - Founding RACE (Racial Action for Climate Equity) - Founding Pioneers Showcase 🌍

You've Been Invited to Our Table
Throughout this leadership programme, ten remarkable women from racialised communities discovered that leadership is not about waiting for a seat at someone else's table.

Together they build their own. Now they warmly invite you to join them.
As our guest, you will be welcomed into a conversation where lived experience, leadership and climate action come together to inspire meaningful change. This is more than a showcase.

It is an opportunity to hear directly from women whose voices are too often absent from environmental conversations and to discover how their experiences can help shape more inclusive climate policy and practice.

🗓 Saturday 12th September
⏰ 11am - 1pm
