News & Events

Our team at CVS Falkirk would like to thank all of our exhibitors, suppliers and especially our attendees who joined us at Falkirk Funders Fayre 2020 on Tuesday! Special thanks goes to: our social enterprise pop-up café, Community Focus Scotland CIC, Marie from THINK Consulting Solutions for delivering the afternoon’s presentation on community fundraising, our partners at Falkirk Council, and Bowhouse Community Centre, our wonderful local venue. Without them, the event wouldn’t have been possible. We’re delighted to have been able to bring 23 funders and support organisations from across both the local and national landscapes to Falkirk this year.

Following today’s successful Falkirk Funders Fayre 2020, we’d like to remind everyone that we are also holding a FREE participation requests workshop on Thursday 12th March, 1pm – 4pm at the Forth Valley Sensory Centre, Redbrae Road, Camelon, FK1 4DD. Held in partnership with the Scottish Centre for Community Development (SCDC), the workshop is aimed at local community groups looking to find out how to use participation requests to start discussions with decision-makers about improving public services. A light lunch will be available from 12:30pm.

Forth Valley College in Falkirk will open the doors to its old campus building for the last time on Tuesday 10th March for third sector groups and organisations (including charities, social enterprises, voluntary and community groups) to take away any equipment that is still left. These items are only available on Tuesday 10th March, and there is no provision for storage or delivery, so groups will need to organise a way to collect their items before arranging a collection time.

With only FOUR DAYS until Falkirk Funders Fayre 2020 on Tuesday 10th March, 10am – 2pm at the Bowhouse Community Centre,, it’s the last of our weekly spotlights – and after adding quite a few new exhibitors, we have 6 of them: Corra Foundation, Forth Giving (formerly Sons of the Rock), Falkirk Business Gateway, Social Investment Scotland, Burnhead Moss Education Training Fund, and Asda Foundation.
