Volunteer Summer Party
Our volunteer thank you event
On 25th July, ScotsCare hosted its annual volunteer ‘thank you’ event , away from the Thames this year, at a venue on East Road in Old Street. Nearly 45 staff, trustees and volunteers and their guests enjoyed a fun evening, which included, food, drinks, awards, a raffle and a quiz.
ScotsCare Chair Kevin Lynch and trustee David McMurtrie spoke, both of whom highlighted that impressive range and amount of support that volunteers provide in support of the charity. In the last financial year, volunteers gave an amazing 4987 hours of their time!
On the night, five volunteers received awards for their long service – John Black (befriender) for 20 years’, Margaret Wilson (receptionist) for 15 years’, Brenda Koronka (event support), and Bill McAusland (social events) for 10 years’, and Gwen Watson (reception, events, mailings) for 5 years’. Margaret Wilson also received a Points2Reward award for her dedicated support which is a two-night stay in a hotel with breakfast.
