Call to Action: Festive Community Support Opportunities

Posted on November 27, 2019

Over the Christmas and festive period, CVS Falkirk is often contacted by many members of our local community who would like to spread a bit of festive cheer by volunteering their time, or making a donation, to a local organisation or group at this time of year.

If you are an organisation or group who will be helping in your community during this festive period, and you would value volunteers or donations to support your work, we would love to hear from you.

If you can provide us with some information about your organisation, a summary of the work you are doing locally over the festive period and how others could support you, then we can help you to make connections with people who may like to get involved.

For further information, or to provide your details, please contact CVS Falkirk by phone: 01324 692000, or email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
