Projects we are supporting in 2026-2027

Come along to the Boys Brigade museum in the Howgate shopping centre, Falkirk. You will find a beautiful display showing the work Falkirk Soroptimists do. The museum officially opens on the 14th November at 11 am and will be an exciting event.

Interested in learning a new craft? You can enrol in a craft class or to learn to crochet (for beginners). A small donation for the crochet classes will go to The Scottish Charity Air Ambulance and for the craft classes to Blood Cancer.

Newsline is the Forth Valley Talking Newspaper Association, a free weekly audio news service for blind and visually impaired people in the Falkirk District. Recordings of the Falkirk Herald, a monthly magazine, and quarterly Falkirk Council newspapers are sent out on USB memory sticks using Royal Mail's "Articles for the Blind" free delivery service. Players are provided free of charge for local residents who do not have equipment to play the USB sticks.

Forth Valley Talking Newspaper Association (FVTNA) is a registered charity and was founded on 13th November 1981. It has now recorded over 2000 issues of the "Talking Newspaper". S.I Falkirk has provided volunteer readers since 1981 on a two weekly rota with Grangemouth and Falkirk Rotary Clubs.

Recordings of Newsline are made every week throughout the year on a Thursday evening, and volunteers turn out in all weathers to read a range of newspaper articles, record, copy USB’s and empty and fill mailing wallets.

Newsline is completely free for registered listeners living across the Falkirk Council area and Central Scotland. Funding of the service is provided by an annual Grant from Falkirk Council and the donations received from listeners and local organisations.

SI falkirk members have walked 100 miles during the month of October to raise funds for the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). This is a vital service that provides medical help quickly to all parts of Scotland's large rural and often remote areas.

We will be manning a stall at the Dobbie Hall (Larbert) Christmas craft fair on Sunday 15th November with all proceeds going to the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance. Please call by our stall and see the range of crafts we offer and learn more about the oldest womens club in Forth Valley !
