Volunteers’ Week 2020: Help Us Say Thank You!

Volunteer Week takes place each year in the first week of June – this year, many will miss the opportunity to get together in person with their volunteer colleagues and the organisations they give their time to. However, we still want to thank each and every volunteer who dedicates their time, enthusiasm and commitment to help others in their own communities – and we need your help. We have created Celebrating Volunteering Certificates for organisations to download and send to their volunteers. Once the lockdown restrictions are lifted we will be able to print and present the certificates for you. For all our Falkirk Bairns, we have a colouring page you can colour in and display in your window for all volunteers to see!

Volunteers’ Week Colouring Page

Falkirk Bairns – we want to say a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers who have been helping and supporting local people and communities recently. Volunteers Week is Monday 1st June to Sunday 7th June, and we would love if it you can colour this picture in. You can use as many colours as you want. Then display it in your front window during Volunteers Week so that all the volunteers see it. Open this article to download!
