Volunteers’ Week 2026 is almost here! Taking place every year 1 June – 7 June, it is an opportunity to celebrate everything volunteers achieve locally, and across the country. Our team would like to take this opportunity to say a massive THANK YOU to all the fabulous volunteers in Falkirk District dedicating their time and supporting those within their local communities. As part of our commitment to promoting and supporting volunteering, we are planning activities across Falkirk District – and not just during Volunteers’ Week! In recognition of how special and amazing volunteers are in our local communities, and all the different ways people can get involved, we are extending our activities into the following week.
