For the past couple of years members of Friends of the Earth Falkirk have supported a number of events both locally and nationally. At times these events were so regular there was no need for the small steering group to meet in between events. Members have also been involved in solidarirty and counter racism protesting outside the asylum seeker accommodation in central Falkirk. At times this has been a bi-weekly commitment with national marches coming along regularly- Scotland Demands Better Edinburgh, Scotlands Climate March, and Falkirk's Unity March- one of the biggest protests in Falkirk Town Centre.
Despite all these events, the group co-hosted a screening of Power Station along with the Polmont Community Hub. This was an oppertunity for our group's supporters to meet up watch an inspiring film and share food together.
Everybody is busy and the relaunch is not so much to try and increase the core group but to increase the supporter membership and to provide opportunities for supporters to be inspired to take local action in their community through social and inspiring events.
