RISE Forth Valley welcomes the Falkirk Community Planning Partnership’s commitment to fairness, equality and tolerance.
It is positive to see local organisations clearly say that racism, discrimination and hatred are not acceptable, and that everyone in Falkirk should feel safe, respected and included.
At the same time, we know that racism is a real issue in Falkirk and across Scotland. Words are important, but they must be backed up by action. Real change means listening to communities, challenging discrimination when it happens, and making sure services treat everyone fairly.
RISE Forth Valley believes in inclusion, respect and bringing people together. We look forward to working with local partners to turn these commitments into practical action and to help build a community where everyone belongs.
Please show your support by leaving a positive comment on the Councils Facebook post. The more good comments, the more we are heard.
The Falkirk Community Planning Partnership has published a joint statement reaffirming support for an inclusive Falkirk, where everyone is treated with respect.
It brings together communities, public services, the third sector and businesses across the area.
