The Inspiring Volunteer Awards: A Celebration of Kindness and Dedication
Every year, during Volunteers’ Week, we hold the Inspiring Volunteer Awards. This event is not just an awards ceremony, but a celebration of the incredible dedication and effort put forth by volunteers in East Lothian.
This celebration is part of a larger, national initiative that spans across Scotland, where we take a moment to appreciate the kindness and generosity of our fellow citizens. It’s a wonderful opportunity to shine a spotlight on the remarkable volunteering projects that are making a difference in East Lothian.
Moreover, it’s an excellent platform to highlight some of the outstanding volunteering projects that are making a real difference in East Lothian.
