Forth Valley College in Falkirk will open the doors to its old campus building for the last time on Tuesday 10th March for third sector groups and organisations (including charities, social enterprises, voluntary and community groups) to take away any equipment that is still left. These items are only available on Tuesday 10th March, and there is no provision for storage or delivery, so groups will need to organise a way to collect their items before arranging a collection time.
