Local Groups List
Local groups are a vital part of our national work and are effective campaign groups in their own right. Our local groups are run by dedicated volunteers, and open to anyone to join. Why not find out if there is a local group near you?
If there’s a Friends of the Earth Scotland Local Group near you, get in touch to get involved in your area.
We are actively looking to support more people to organise Local Groups in their area. If there isn’t a group near you and you are interested in finding out more about getting one started, please get in touch at activism [@] foe.scot
