Top Award for Volunteer!

We were delighted to attend the AGE Scotland virtual awards ceremony where volunteer Betty Carnihan won their top award, Volunteer of the Year!  Betty has been volunteering with LDVG since 1996, 2 years after we opened, and has a long history of voluteering in a variety of posts.  Currently Betty volunteers with the Hareleeshill lunch club, call line and the Thursday Evening Social group and she also helps out wherever we may need her.  Betty is an active member in a number of groups including the walking group and exercise classes, and enjoys our tea dances.  Betty is reliable and can be called upong to cover at the last minute.  She is enthusisatic, happy and upbeat and we hope she continues to volunteer with us for many, many more years!

TEMPORARY CLOSURE

Sadly we had to make the decision on 24th March to close our building.  Staff are now working from home to ensure their safety and yours.

The staff and call line volunteers are continuing to run our vital call line service, and it has now been extended to cover 7 days a week, morning and afternoon, as we understand how important it is for isolated members of the community to stay connected. So if you know anyone in the community who would benefit from having a wee chat and check please feel free to refer them (This email address is being protected from spambots.

Our main priority is our members, volunteers and staff and we are doing everything we can to ensure people stay safe and well. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers who help keep our services running, you are all stars✨

We are also working closely with the COVID-19 Rainbow Larkhall group who are working tirelessly to make sure our community get the help and support they need.  We appreciate all your support and look forward to happier times when we can all be together again!

Please stay safe and look after one another #charityfamily #community #volunteers #staysafe #coronavirus2020
