We work with other charities through the Scottish Environnment Link and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland networks. We also work closely with other Friends of the Earth members in the Friends of the Earth International network making us much more effective on the wider global issues such as Climate Change.

No. We are a Scottish Registered Charity (No. SC003442) and as such are non-party-political.

We have around 5000 financial supporters and a wider network of people who take action on our campaigns.

Friends of the Earth Scotland was founded in 1978. Read our history to find out more.

Friends of the Earth Scotland works in particular on environmental issues and how they apply in Scotland. We work closely with the Scottish Parliament, inputting to policy development here.  Due to Scotland's unique landscape and history we have very specific challenges and opportunities that we can focus closely on.

If you live in Scotland and you are unsure which organisation you are member of, then please get touch by using this form or telephoning 0131 243 2700. Our Supporter Development team can quickly check your details and help swap your membership over to us if required.

There are two separate Friends of the Earth organisations in the UK: Friends of the Earth - which covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland (EWNI) - and Friends of the Earth Scotland. Both organisations are part of Friends of the Earth International and as such we collaborate on many campaigns. But we are independent of each other with our own strategies, management and finances.

To ensure both groups are as effective as possible, we strongly encourage supporters of Friends of the Earth EWNI who live in Scotland to support Friends of the Earth Scotland’s work, and vice versa.
