We are a vital resource tackling Stirling’s most pressing social and economic challenges, including unemployment, poverty, low pay, financial disparity, mental and physical health issues, homelessness, and justice system involvement.
By equipping individuals with skills, education, and employment opportunities, We directly support Stirling Council’s priorities of reducing inequalities, fostering inclusive growth, and building resilient communities. However, with Stirling Council’s projected £12.9m budget shortfall for 2025/26, the proposed withdrawal of our core funding puts these essential services at risk.
If funding is removed, there is no clear strategy on how the Council will replace the support we provide to 250+ individuals annually. The consequences include deepening inequalities, increased unemployment, and reduced community resilience, undermining national objectives on health, education, poverty reduction, and social justice.
