Our team at CVS Falkirk would like to celebrate the wonderful volunteers and community members who do so much for communities across Falkirk and District, during the last few years and beyond. While we’re committed to recognising their efforts every day, Volunteers’ Week (Wednesday 1^st June – Tuesday 7^th June) presents the ideal opportunity to highlight the variety of local volunteering, the time and effort given by the unsung heroes who give back to their communities – not for their own benefit, but for other people.

As a result, we’re not only bringing back our Volunteer Awards and Celebrating Volunteering Certificates, but – brand new for 2022 – we’ll be holding the very first Volunteers’ Week “Picnic in the Park!” in Falkirk!

We’ll also be announcing even more fun things to do and celebrate volunteering in Falkirk, closer to the time.

Volunteer Awards

We’d like to invite local people, organisations and groups to nominate the volunteers they think deserve recognition for their exceptional efforts. The winner for each category will be chosen by an independent panel and will receive a surprise gift to enjoy, with prizes donated by local businesses.

The Award categories for 2022 are:

Volunteer of the Year
Young Volunteer of the Year
Innovative Volunteer Award
Community Volunteer Award
Volunteer-Involving Organisation of the Year Award

The deadline for nominations to the awards is 11:59pm on Sunday 1^st May.
