As we mark Volunteers’ Week, we want to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible people who give their time, energy, skills and enthusiasm to support our community.
Behind so much of what happens in Dufftown and District Community Association are volunteers who quietly get on with making a difference every single day. Whether it’s rain, shine, wind or snow, our volunteers show up and help make our projects and events possible.
A huge thank you goes to our bike volunteers who help maintain our community bikes and ensure they are ready for hire, helping people get active, explore the area and enjoy the outdoors.
We are also incredibly grateful to our Food Larder volunteers who work tirelessly to keep the shelves stocked and organised. A special mention must go to our wonderful “mini volunteers” from the local nurseries, who regularly help stock the Food Larder with such enthusiasm and care.
Thank you also to the volunteers who support our Warm Spaces lunches, helping to prepare, serve and welcome people through the door. These events simply wouldn’t be the same without your friendly faces and willingness to help.
From clothing swaps and family activities to community events and behind-the-scenes support, our volunteers contribute in countless ways. A special thank you also goes to the amazing team behind our Community Growing Project, who are looking forward to helping people learn and grow together as we continue to develop this project. We are equally grateful to those volunteers who weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and helped clear all of the accumulated rubbish from the Clock Tower, an important first step in bringing this much-loved landmark back into community use. Every hour given, every task completed and every smile shared helps strengthen our community and makes Dufftown a better place for everyone.
On behalf of everyone at Dufftown and District Community Association, thank you. Your generosity, commitment and community spirit are at the heart of everything we do, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
Happy Volunteers’ Week!
