To mark Volunteers’ Week 2022, CVS Falkirk and Falkirk Council together would like to highlight the value of volunteering within our local communities across Falkirk and District, and the commitment and dedication of volunteers every day.

Together, we thank volunteers across our district for everything they have done to help and improve the lives of other people.

Victoria McRae, CEO, CVS Falkirk and Volunteer Falkirk said:

“Without volunteers, the pandemic would have been even more difficult, even more isolating, and recovery would be an even rockier road.

“They truly are amazing, and while they do not seek recognition or reward, we really do want to say thank you to each and every one of them.

“We also extend our thanks to the Volunteer Coordinators and Managers who tirelessly work in the background to ensure that volunteering is a positive experience for all.”

Leader of Falkirk Council, Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn, said:

“I would like to extend my thanks, on behalf of Falkirk Council and all my elected colleagues, to every one of our Falkirk volunteers. As we emerge from the pandemic, we see the efforts of volunteers recognised across so many arenas for their kindness and dedication.”
