Saltire Awards
Endorsed by Scottish Government, the Saltire Awards recognise you, as a young person aged between 12 and 25 years, for your volunteering and help you to positively chart your volunteering journey. The Saltire Awards are progressive and not only can you move up between the different levels but you can enter at different stages depending on your journey into volunteering.
Visit the dedicated Saltire Awards page (linked) for details on how to get involved.
Volunteering and DWP Welfare Benefits
Our team at CVS Falkirk & District work closely with Jobcentre Plus in Falkirk and Grangemouth to highlight volunteering opportunities that are available and to support their staff in encouraging people to volunteer.
The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has published guidance on volunteering while claiming benefits, which we’ve added to our website (linked) as a handy reference for local volunteers.
