It’s that time of year again where our team at Volunteer Falkirk and CVS Falkirk starts planning for Volunteers’ Week (Thursday 1st June – Wednesday 7th June), where we celebrate all the volunteers throughout Falkirk District who go above and beyond to help others.
This year, we’ve exciting plans in the works, including the return of Celebrating Volunteering Certificates and Volunteer Awards, plus a special photo display and the chance to join us for Picnic in the Park!
All details are available below.

Volunteers’ Week Photo Display: Send Us Your Photos!
in addition to this year’s awards and Picnic in the Park!, we’re working on a special Volunteers’ Week photo display to celebrate our local volunteers, and your group can get involved.
It’s been an absolute joy to see volunteering opportunities reignite over the last year. With our sector busier than ever, we would love to see photos of your volunteers doing what they do best – volunteering!
The display will highlight not only the impact you make in your community, but the efforts of your volunteers and the joy and support they bring.
To submit your photos, either tag us @CVSFalkirk on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), or send them by email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
Picnic in the Park!
Picnic in the Park! is back for 2023, taking place at the very start of Volunteers’ Week, Thursday 1st June.
We can’t wait to see everyone again in the sunshine, and will be contacting those who booked places with all the details.
Celebrating Volunteering Ideas
We’ve told you about what we’re doing for Volunteers’ Week, but you can also plan your own celebrations!
No one knows your volunteers better than you, so why not take this opportunity to thank them in a way you know they’ll love, and is tailored to them? (As well as getting them a lovely certificate, or nominating them for an award, of course!)
We’ve put together some ideas we hope will inspire you, which you can view or download as a pdf (linked for your convenience).
Suggestions include having your own Volunteer Get Together (such as an afternoon tea), organising a visit from your local MSP or councillor, or creating a visual display board.
