STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS
Over the past year, we have focused on strengthening our volunteer team across all
seivices. thanks to additional funding from the Scottish Government. This support has
allowed us to exptind our capaiity. particularly in Lounselling, enabling U5 to increase
the number of clients we are able to see on a weekly basis. Across all our work. our
incredible volunteers have given an astounding 6,000 hours of their time. Their
dedication and generosity have been instrumpntal in extending our reach and
deepening the impact of our seNices within the community.
This year also brought change to our
team as we said goodbye to two valued
staff members. Their contributions have

future events that are belteved to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results in the future could
differ from such estimates.
