This week is Get Online Week!

Get Online Week is an annual campaign by the Good Things Foundation to raise awareness of digital exclusion and the impact it has on individuals and communities.

Last year, we launched our Digital Inclusion Strategy, setting out our plan to deliver meaningful digital inclusion work to support our community. Over the past year, we’ve been working steadily on this strategy and are pleased to share that:

• All staff have completed a digital skills assessment to identify and address any internal skills gaps.

• We have appointed three Digital Inclusion Advocates to support our communities across digital inclusion work.

• We are delivering 12 digital inclusion sessions (and counting) to support our communities with practical workshops.

• 100% of staff and clients accessing appointments now benefit from free Wi Fi.

And work is ongoing to support our communities across Central Scotland, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the services and rights we all share.

Hate crime isn’t always physical. It can include verbal abuse, online abuse and threatening behaviour.

It’s important to report any potential hate crime to the authorities. If you’re unsure, you can speak with a Third Party Reporting Centre like CSREC, where staff can guide you through the process.

This Hate Crime Awareness Week, we’re working with Clackmannanshire Council to highlight why reporting matters. It helps Police Scotland build an accurate picture of what’s happening across our communities.

Together, we’re raising awareness, challenging misconceptions and encouraging people to report.

A hate crime is a crime motivated by hatred or prejudice toward a particular group. It can happen in person or online, and wherever you experience hate, it should be reported.

You can report directly to Police Scotland or through a Third Party Reporting Centre like CSREC, where staff can support you through the process.

If you feel you have been a victim of a hate crime, it is vitally important to report it, not only to seek justice, but to help Police Scotland build a clear picture of what is happening across our communities.

By working together, we can help prevent hate fuelled crime in Scotland.

Reporting hate crime helps authorities and organisations understand what is happening in our communities, support those affected and take action where possible.

Every report matters. If you experience or witness hate crime, reporting it can help ensure support is available and contribute to safer, more inclusive communities.

During National Hate Crime Awareness Week, Clackmannanshire Council is working with Central Scotland Regional Equality Council , a local hate crime reporting centre that supports victims to report incidents and understand their rights. Together, we're helping to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions and encourage reporting.

Today, the world marks the International Day of Peace. With so much global uncertainty, political tensions, and division, the search for peace can feel overwhelming, but it has never been more urgent.

In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”

This year’s theme, Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day, honours the everyday architects of peace: the people taking local action, strengthening communities, and building lasting peace from the ground up.

Peace should be everyone’s mission. Here are small steps you can take today:
• Give your time to help someone else
• Lend your voice to drive positive change
• Use your platform to share stories of hope

At CSREC, we believe peace begins in our communities, in how we show up for one another, listen, and work together for justice.

When we each invest in peace, we all feel its impact.

Today is the United Nations International Day of Charity, and to mark it we were invited to stand alongside Forth Valley Welcome and other local charities at to showcase the work we do. It was a brilliant opportunity to connect with members of the community and share more about our role across Central Scotland.

We had many conversations throughout the day, and one theme stood out above all: solidarity. People spoke openly about their experiences, the cultures they’ve encountered, and the ways we can support one another. That sense of connection is at the heart of charity.

Nations International Day of Charity reminds us that solidarity in the face of exclusion, inequality, and crisis isn’t only possible, it’s necessary. From advocating for those who may not be heard, to strengthening healthcare, education, and public services, and protecting vulnerable communities and human rights — charity remains a powerful force for collective good. We’re proud to have been part of a showcase that demonstrates this.

Allyship means actively supporting and standing up for people who face discrimination or disadvantage.

At CSREC, allyship is one of the ways we live our values: being trusted, responsible, and informed. It’s how we work alongside our communities, collaborate with partners, challenge inequality, and support people to feel safe, respected, and able to thrive across Central Scotland.

We can all be allies. Small actions make a big difference, and you can start today by standing together with us and our communities.
