Climate Action Hub fundraising workshop

Forth Environment Link (FEL) began as the Kippen Nature Club in 1989 with the aim of teaching children about biodiversity and nature. In response to community need and interest, the organisation grew in both mandate and geography, expanding to include adult education and demonstration projects. In 2005 the organisation reconstituted as Forth Environment Link - a company limited by guarantee with charitable status, serving three local authority areas – Stirling, Clackmannanshire and Falkirk. In 2008 Forth Valley Food Links merged with FEL, bringing an additional focus on sustainable local food production and consumption. In 2012 FEL took over the hosting of Cycle Stirling bringing a new cycling focus to our work. In 2013, Stirling Cycle Hub started operating from Stirling Train Station enhancing FEL’s cycling provision. Now in 2019 FEL works under 4 main themes: Active Travel, Food & Growing, Circular Economy and Volunteering.Our Vision:Linking people and the environment for a greener, healthier futureOur Aims:We work with others on environmental, food and active travel issues to:Encourage and support involvement, learning and practical actionEducate and raise awarenessCreate and develop new ideasGround Floor | Cameron House | Forthside Way|Stirling FK8 1QZTel. 01786 449215 | Company Number 286 723 | Scottish Charity Number SCO 019 276
