Last weekend I was delighted to conclude a series of 10 Open meetings held over the last month with voluntary organisations and local charities throughout Lanark & Hamilton East constituency. The final three meetings in Hamilton (2) and Uddingston completed what proved to be a very successful forum for providing volunteers in every community the oppurtunity to get together.in every community the oppurtunity to get together.in every community the oppurtunity to get together. the opportunity to get together and discuss with me issues confronting the voluntary sector within all our communities.
The meetings covered a wide range of community interests within the geography of Lanark and Hamilton East and the issues raised at each meeting, whilst being wide ranging, without exception added value to the informed discussion that flowed from each. The 10 meetings were held in Lanark (3), Carluke (2), Larkhall (2), Hamilton (2) and Uddingston.
I wish to thank all who contributed directly and indirectly to the success of these important meetings, particularly the MSP’s and Councillors who contributed to their success. To the voluntary and charitable groups who make a difference to all our lives, a big thank you to each of them.
Now that community groups have met in this open forum where they have shared with each other the collective experience of making their voice heard, I intend to consult with them to make Open days for Voluntary Organisations in Lanark and Hamilton East, a regular event.
