Collaboration, Community and Connection

Taking place on Wednesday 18 February 2026, from 9am – 4.30pm, the Forth Valley Third Sector Conference 2026 is your space to reconnect with purpose, grow powerful partnerships, and leave energised with ideas you can put into action immediately.

At a time when communities face unprecedented challenges, this year’s conference focuses on what truly drives impact in the third sector: Collaboration. Connection. Community. Welcoming representatives from all areas of the third sector to come together for a day focused on what matters most, this conference seeks to build on these key elements, bringing together a range of speakers to prompt attendees to delve deeper into potential opportunities and relationships across the Forth Valley.

The challenges we face are too complex to face alone. The solutions live in our relationships, shared leadership and collective power.

We believe:

Collaboration beats competition
Connection builds resilience
Community creates lasting change

With the agenda shaped by the above, there will be facilitated discussions on each of the topics to capture your thoughts, provide opportunities to ask questions, share good practice in tabletop sessions, and identify actions that can help the Forth Valley Third Sector to remain strong, resilient and able to show the difference being made every day.

Taking place at Grangemouth Stadium (238 Kersiebank Avenue, Grangemouth, FK3 0BS), tickets to attend the conference will cost £25 and will be invoiced upon receipt of the completed booking form (linked for your convenience). This conference is for Third Sector Leaders & Managers, Development Officers, and Community Leaders. If you care about people, place and purpose—you belong here.

Join the Forth Valley TSIs in person for the Forth Valley Third Sector Conference 2026 to connect, learn, and make an impact!
