From the bottom of our hearts, our team would like to thank everyone who joined us yesterday for our first ever virtual AGM.

We’re so glad you all found it useful and interesting, and it meant a lot to see everyone there. We know it has been a difficult year, but the local third sector continues to inspire and amaze us with their efforts, giving their time and energy, and regularly attending meetings like this, like the third sector forums, or finding ways to hold safe, socially distanced Halloween events, all to help support the people of Falkirk.

To quote one of our team members during the meeting, we could not do any of this without you.

We would also like to extend our thanks to our keynote speaker Cecil Meiklejohn, Leader of Falkirk Council, for taking the time to join and speak with us. We know everyone appreciated it, and your words to the sector, and we all look forward to working further with Falkirk Council during the coming months, and beyond.
