Falkirk Delivers Ground Maintenance Volunteers

Posted on November 11, 2016

Falkirk Delivers works with partners delivering a range of projects to enhance visitor experience to the town centre, and covers four strategic themes: cleanliness, safety, marketing and tourism. Through their activities Falkirk Delivers aims to inspire local businesses, residents and visitors alike to take a pride in Falkirk.

They are looking to recruit ground maintenance volunteers for a new project, which will develop a previously identified piece of orphaned land in Falkirk town centre, creating a space suitable for public use.

Volunteers will be part of a team who will transform a piece of land next to the Steeple in Falkirk’s High Street into a place visitors to the town centre can enjoy. Full supervision will be provided from the Falkirk Delivers team and a qualified landscape architect.

For further information regarding this opportunity, please contact the Volunteer Team by phone: 01324 692000, or email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk

Safe and Fun Falkirk Halloween Activities During COVID-19

This year’s Halloween will be a bit different for everyone. Some of our local people and community groups are organising alternative outdoor Halloween activities and sharing their crafty ideas so everyone can still enjoy the holiday safely across Falkirk. Our team has gathered some of them on our website, including costume competitions, spooky recipes, pumpkin trails, crafty ideas and old Scottish traditions that might be worth reviving this strange year.
