Thank you to everyone who joined us at yesterday’s Falkirk Third Sector Employability Summit! It was wonderful to see you all again, and we heard some important discussions taking place at tables. Our team will be working on collating all the feedback you gave us, and will share our findings in due course.

Following on from the sessions earlier this year, CVS Falkirk is holding an online information session on Community Asset Transfer (CAT) (with the possibility for additional sessions at a later date), taking place on Tuesday 5th September, 1pm – 3:30pm. “An Informed Choice: Community Asset Transfer” is an introductory session, open to third sector organisations and groups across Falkirk and District.

We can now confirm our speakers for the Falkirk Third Sector Employability Summit next month, taking place on Thursday 24th August, 9:30am – 12:30pm, at Forth Valley Sensory Centre.
