Larkhalland Districtvolunteer Group

Larkhall and District Volunteer Group held their AGM on Wednesday, September 13, and the executives were elected as follows: Anne Alston, chairperson, Margaret Gibson, secretary and Paul Mclaughlin, treasurer.

A report was given on the activities and financial accounts of the previous year and plans were outlined for the organisation moving forward. Three new board members were also recruited.

Are you recently retired and looking to fill some hours during the week? Are you trying to get back to work and would like to gain experience in the workplace? Would you like to help your community? Would you like to add to your CV? If you answer yes to any of the above, we may be able to help.

Volunteering is proven to improve your health and wellbeing. A few hours a week can help improve the health and wellbeing of people in the community. Potential employers will be impressed with your volunteering history. You can gain experience in other areas. Why not give us a call to find out more? No pressure, just a friendly chat to confirm what is involved.

We are particularly looking for people to drive our minibuses to assist the elderly, lonely and isolated people in the community. Give it a try call us on 01698 888893 or emailann.nisbet@ ldvg.org for more information and to make an appointment to visit.

Would you benefit from using our services? Lunch clubs, call line, handyperson, IT, walking, exercise and gardening groups are all going on at LDVG.

We also have the Thursday Night Group which meets weekly from 6pm-8pm for a friendly game of dominoes.
