SUMMARY:CVS Falkirk & District Members Day 2026

An opportunity to come together\, learn from each other\, reflect on the work we do and look ahead to what comes next\, we hope it will be an insightful and interesting day for all. \nTaking place at Dennyloanhead Community Centre\, our theme for the day is From Evidence to Impact. Across two connected sessions\, we’ll explore how we can move beyond simply collecting information and reporting on activity\, towards using evidence to understand what is making a difference\, learn from our experience and make better decisions for the future. \nAlongside the learning sessions\, the Members Day will provide an opportunity to meet other CVS Falkirk & District members\, share experiences and ideas\, and hear more about our work and priorities. And\, of course\, we’ll also hold our Annual General Meeting\, giving members the opportunity to hear about the year gone by\, our achievements and challenges\, and our plans for the year ahead. \nWe hope you’ll join us for what will be an interactive\, thought-provoking and useful day – one that gives you space to reflect on your own organisation while connecting with others across Falkirk District’s vibrant third sector. \nAs this event is only open to CVS Falkirk & District membership\, all membership organisations will receive a booking link to register their space in advance of the day.
