Recognition for local volunteers in West Lothian
The hard work of people who go above and beyond to support others in their communities have been recognised by the Bathgate based Voluntary Sector Gateway at their first ever Volunteer Awards
The event last week shone the spotlight on individual and team achievements with nominees representing a wide range of organisations and causes across the county.
Volunteer of the year title went to Jim Watson of West Lothian Council Advice Shop and Macmillan with runner up, Loretta Black of The Boghall Drop-In Centre.
Nancy Baker of Carers of West Lothian won this year's Dedication and Commitment Award, with Elaine McCallum of the No Limits Sports Club as runner up.
Members of The Barn community cafe in Livingston won the team award, with the Team Jak Foundation as runners up.
Ray Fallan, Volunteering & Governance Development Officer at Voluntary Sector Gateway West Lothian, said: 'It was a brilliant day with a great buzz in the room. We're so proud to recognise the volunteers who give so much of their time to make West Lothian a better place.
'Their dedication is inspiring, and this event is our way of saying thank you.'
