We are delighted to see many more organisations in South Lanarkshire signing up to join VASLan Membership Programme. We would like to ensure that our membership is representing the diversity and extent of South Lanarkshire’s third sector. One of the benefits of joining VASLan free membership is to access our managed funds. Peter McGhee, Development Officer for Sustainability and Collaboration, explains how the programme works.
The COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented. It is important for us to keep an eye on elderly and vulnerable friends, families, neighbours, and relatives, who may be ill and need extra care.
On November 2021, Ann Rodger, volunteer at Larkhall and District Volunteer Group, has won the 2021 Volunteer of the Year Award from The Community Transport Association UK. Ann is an amazing volunteer working tirelessly for the community in Larkhall. It's amazing to see her dedication to volunteering, a lifetime commitment, and hard work.
Watch the video below to her Ann's story in winning the award.
