- March 2024
Chairman David Aird, Sectretary Pauline Watson and the
two administrators met with a few of our drivers and serveral
of the regular service users for coffee. Morag Lindsay and photographer,
Steve Brown from The Courier were invited along to speak to everyone
about the service provided by KVG&ROS.
Subsequently an article appeared in both the print and on-line
issues of the paper on 5th March. Link
to the online version.
The service users were particularly pleased to meet Iona and Ellis,
who they only knew as a voice at the end of the phone. It was
a lovely event and will possibly repeated in a different venue.
In
December 2023 we were awarded the Volunteer
Friendly Award for the third time. The Award is in
recognition of how our volunteers are valued and respected. The
award is held for three years and KVG&ROS have now held 2016
- 2019, 2020 - 2023 and now have it from 2023- 2026.
National
Recognition - October 2023
While we knew we had the support and recognition of the
community it came as a very pleasant surprise to be recognised
nationally with an award from Age Scotland.
The award for "Services for Older People 2023"
was presented to us on 1st October in Orwell Church, where we
held an afternoon tea for our Volunteers, some of our service
users and representatives from local organisations, who have supported
us over our 40 plus years.
Stuart Purdy, Chair of Age Scotland, made the presentation to
Norma Denwick, one of the founding members of the the organisation.
Ena Bowen then gave a vote of thanks on behalf of the service
users.

It was a beautiful day on 26th August when KVG&ROS had a Tombola
stall at the Summer Market. The committee wanted to say a big thank
you to everyone who came to say hello and supported the tombola
by donating prizes or buying tickets on the day.
And a very, very big "Thank You" to everyone who donated
the huge amount of great prizes.
Better
Place to Live Fair - 25th March 2023
KVG&ROS were happy to take part in this exciting
community event. It was great to meet so many people and raise
a little bit for funds with "Guess Paddington's Birthday".
Thank you to everyone who stopped to chat and support us.

During September the committee took advantage of some beautiful
weather to hold a lunch party to say "thank you" to all
the volunteers and those who have helped the charity, particularly
over the past 2 years. This was made possible by a very generous
donation from a Milnathort businessman.

There was a wonderful turnout at the Kinross Farmers Market on 27th
August where KVG&ROS had a stall. The committee wanted to say
a big thank you to everyone who came to say hello and supported
the tombola by donating prizes or buying tickets on the day.
On 27th September, 2019 a silver birch tree was planted in the
grounds of Loch Leven Health Centre in memory of Ann Munro who
sadly died in April this year. During torrential rain the tree
was planted by Jane and Ross, Ann's daughter and son with approximately
40 people looking on. Hopefully the tree will thrive, just as
KVG&ROS did during the 37 years that Ann was the co-ordinator.
