“We are delighted to appoint Lynsey as our new Deputy CEO – she brings to the role a wealth of experience of working and volunteering in a range of third sector groups and organisations, an excellent knowledge of voluntary and community activity within the Falkirk and District area, and a commitment to strengthening the third sector as a route to improving and enriching the lives of local people.”

As Deputy CEO I am committed to developing our team and the activities we offer so we can best support and serve the local third sector to ensure they can continue their excellent work, confidently navigate any challenges they face, and make the most of the opportunities available to them for the benefit of the people of the Falkirk and District area.”
