A very Happy New Year to all of our members, partners, colleagues, and supporters.

We’re delighted to bring you our 2025 Annual Report – and below, we share the thoughts of our Director, Dr Beth Christie, on its contents...

“This has been a fast-paced year, shaped by both challenge and change, and it is with real pride that we reflect on how we have navigated it together. As we look to 2026 and beyond, we do so enriched by new and deepened collaborations, strengthened partnerships, and a wealth of shared achievements and milestones. Each milestone marks meaningful progress in its own right, and together, they tell the story of a growing, collective movement; offering a sense of purpose and direction at a time of profound change and uncertainty.

Weaving and connecting people, projects and policy

This Annual Report captures many of the larger projects and events we have delivered and
supported. Yet some of the most important aspects of our work are less easily recorded: the
relationships built, the trust nurtured, and the connections that sustain this community.
Throughout the year, I have often described LfS Scotland as a ‘weaver’ – of ideas, projects,
people and partnerships – which brings diverse threads together into something stronger and
more resilient.

Celebrating creativity, collaboration, respect, compassion, and integrity

This work is only possible because of the people who make it happen. Alongside our core
team, we are incredibly fortunate to be supported by a dedicated and generous Steering
Group, Chair, Vice-Chair and Youth Co-ordinator; whose insight, enthusiasm and challenge
continually energise the Centre’s thinking and practice. Their contribution is woven
throughout our work and clearly reflected in this report. Together with our broad and diverse
membership, partners, and colleagues, we form a vibrant LfS Scotland community; driven by a shared vision of a just, sustainable and equitable future for all.

Our heartfelt thanks…

…goes to everyone who has contributed to, collaborated with and supported
Learning for Sustainability Scotland this year. Your creativity, commitment and care continue
to inspire and strengthen this collective journey.”
