Volunteers’ Week 2026 is almost here! Taking place every year 1 June – 7 June, it is an opportunity to celebrate everything volunteers achieve locally, and across the country.

Our team would like to take this opportunity to say a massive THANK YOU to all the fabulous volunteers in Falkirk District dedicating their time and supporting those within their local communities.

As part of our commitment to promoting and supporting volunteering, we are planning activities across Falkirk District – and not just during Volunteers’ Week! In recognition of how special and amazing volunteers are in our local communities, and all the different ways people can get involved, we are extending our activities into the following week.

Check out the full list of what our team will be up to below:

Volunteer Awards Ceremony 2026

On Tuesday 2 June, we will be hosting our main event, the Volunteering Awards Ceremony!

Taking place at the Macdonald Inchyra Hotel in Polmont, we will be celebrating the amazing contribution made by volunteers across Falkirk District. Our independent panel of judges had another incredibly difficult task this year to select just some of the nominated local volunteers for the 2026 Awards, and we can’t wait to find out with everyone.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on our social media to see the Award winners over the week.
