Sustainable Thinking Scotland Community Interest Company (STS C.I.C) is a social enterprise created to address a wide range of social and environmental issues within the Falkirk District, using any profits and assets for the public good.

Through our various projects we intend to support community interaction and inter-generational communication, encourage local sustainable food production, provide community-scale waste recycling, as well as creating learning opportunities for local primary school pupils and supporting the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people within our area.

The aim of our main project, The STS Foodbank Farm, is to aid in the provision of local services tackling food poverty. We do this through the production and donation of locally grown fruit and vegetables, improving the dietary options available to those using the service.

The project has been operating in the walled garden at Kinneil Estate since January 2017 and to date we have made over 50 weekly donations to the foodbank, totalling over 400kgs of fresh fruit and vegetables!

With the Kinneil Recycling Project we aim to provide environmental benefits for our local area through various wood and green waste recycling techniques, such as the production of biochar, compost and vermicompost, enabling us to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and provide community action on carbon-based climate change.

We also deliver a range of education events for our local community focusing food production, carbon literacy and recycling. Our most recent schools programme, Grow'ness, encourages pupils to grow their own vegetables, but more importantly brings awareness to local social issues, such as food poverty, and highlights what can be done to support those less fortunate within our community.
