WDCVS Volunteer Centre Coordinator, Kathleen McCulloch said “Volunteering is a key, but often under recognised, social bond supporting the communities of West Dunbartonshire. Volunteers provide essential services, willingly giving their time and skills for no financial reward and we think it’s more important than ever to celebrate their contribution. Whatever you do and wherever you go, it’s likely you will come into contact with a volunteer at some point in your day – though you may not realise it”.
Submissions will be assessed by an independent judging panel, with three individuals or organisations shortlisted in each category. The Awards Ceremony will take place on November 27th at the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel.
The online nomination form now available and nominations can be made until Friday 3rd October 2025.
