While still under restrictions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and with community emergency response initiatives still being delivered, there was a sense of emergence and future planning.

The excellent work of Third Sector organisations was celebrated across Scotland and here in South Lanarkshire, we are proud of the work done to support our communities through seriously challenging times.

Throughout, VASLan staff continued to work with local organisations, ensuring flexibility of service provision. We continued to engage with our partners, stakeholders and funding providers, while both responding to and developing new opportunities to build on the recognition of the value our sector brings to the lives of local people and the communities in which they live.

We have all lived through unprecedented times, allowing us to focus on what is important to us.

People and communities are VASLan’s priority, and we will continue to support, empower and encourage all those we work with, to build sustainable communities together.
