Welcome to the Forth Valley Substance Action Team Website
FVSAT Region We are a multi-agency partnership establish to implement and respond to national strategy on drugs, alcohol and tobacco and volatile substances.

We are supported and guided in this work by a number of forums and sub-groups.

Reporting directly to the Scottish Government on an annual basis we are responsible for the provision, development and funding of substance related activity in the three local authority areas of Falkirk, Clackmannanshire and Stirling.

The SAT has members from Community Groups, Health, Local Authorities, Police, Prisons, & Voluntary Sector. Each has the responsibility to provide their organisation's perspective on substance matters.
