NEW DATE (1st March 2025) FOR NATIONAL CONVENTION ON SCOTLAND’S FUTURE
The IFS National Convention on Scotland’s Future, scheduled for 30 November, will now have its first meeting on SATURDAY 1 MARCH 2025. The Memorial Service
We are a gathering of pro-independence groups, with the intention of working in common cause with every group and organisation in the independence movement.
We were formally constituted in 2023.
You can see our Management Committee here.
You can see our current list of members here. Should your group be joining us?
The independence movement includes many groups doing excellent work, but which are often unaware of work being carried out by others. This can lead to overlapping effort, uncertainty and, in the worst cases, conflict.
IFS seeks to help bring together every organisation and group which aspires to independence. Our aim is to encourage collaboration, to minimise duplication, to celebrate successes and – above all – to put a focus on positive action for meaningful change.
Membership is open to any corporate or unincorporated body which has a clear majority of independence supporting members. There are two categories of membership:
Members: National bodies or groups, regional bodies or networks.
Associates: National bodies or groups with some affiliation to political parties, or bodies or groups which choose not to become full members.

IFS engages with members and others across Scotland, predominantly as an online group, with few fixed costs.
The small amount of funding required to date has been obtained by application to the Scottish Independence Foundation (SIF) which, like ourselves, is party politically neutral.
We do not seek funding from political parties, and we never will.

The Independence Forum wishes to unite the independence movement by providing an opportunity to inform, motivate and encourage cooperation across the Scottish Independence movement.
We aim to develop a shared vision for a future Scotland as an independent nation by enabling pro-independence people to work together on a non-party political basis.
