SCCAN Members Annual Gathering 2026: The Joy of Now

SAVE THE DATE!

Tuesday 24th November, Stirling Court Hotel, Stirling

As usual, our annual gathering isn't just another conference, it’s something different. It’s an interactive day filled with energy, connection, and real local power for local people.

We want this day to be an antidote to the terrible things we’re currently experiencing and witnessing. This winter, we’ll brighten each other’s day, share the joy of helping each other solve everyday challenges, and get inspired for what we know is a rocky road ahead.

Not a SCCAN member? No problem, this event is open to everyone. Or if you would like to join SCCAN you can do so here for free :)

Here’s some of what is waiting for us on the grounds of the University of Stirling, a beautiful and historic parkland and loch landscape set against wooded lower slopes.

• Celebrating Local Action! We will host the inaugural SCCAN Awards, where you can get nominated and vote for your fellow members across different categories and celebrate the achievements powering our communities.
• Collaboration and problem-solving. Bring your ideas, your challenges, and your passions. Experience the joy of mutual support, getting help with your goals and helping others achieve theirs. Leave the day with solutions and plans.
• Interactive workshops & networking. Connect directly with leaders, experts, and peers driving community climate action across Scotland.
• Share your work. We’ll have a dedicated literature table, so bring your flyers and printed materials to share your story!
