Annual Volunteer Celebration The School Bank West Lothian

Earlier this month some of our amazing volunteers came together for a celebration.

We shared a lovely morning over coffee and cake, getting to know each other better – including who we’d invite to dinner (shout out to Billy Connolly, Chris Hoy and Khloé Kardashian who made the guest list! 👀). We also discovered some hidden talents… one volunteer has abseiled off a building, while another admits handstands are definitely not their thing!

There were some great activities too, from costing a school uniform to thinking about the contents of pencil cases – highlighting the surprising cost of uniform and why stationery needs to vary dependent on the age of a young person.

Collette shared inspiring photos of our newly installed hubs and a beautiful poem dedicated to our volunteers. Roz then rounded off the event by presenting Hana with her 50 hours award certificate, along with a little thank-you gift for everyone—because our volunteers are simply Tea-riffic!

In the last year, our volunteers have gifted nearly 800 hours of their time. Thanks-A-Latte for all you do!
