The ACVO team is excited to bring you the May edition of ACVO News, filled with updates, inspiring stories, and opportunities from across Aberdeen’s third sector!
This month, we take a closer look at the thriving sense of community at Tullos Crescent Allotments in Torry, where fresh produce is just the beginning of what’s being grown. On page 18, discover how the Souperb initiative from Old Torry Community Centre is dishing out homemade soup, and connection, to bring neighbours closer together.
We also spotlight Gavin Wright from Alcohol & Drugs Action, who completed the Paris Marathon to raise funds and awareness for recovery services (page 24). And don’t miss the powerful voices behind St Machar Credit Union, sharing how financial wellbeing and human connection go hand-in hand (page 20).
Grampian Pride also returns this June with a grassroots celebration of visibility and unity, while VSA launches an exciting new Education Partnership Plan aimed at empowering the next generation. Plus, we have the news that a date has been set for the Celebrate Aberdeen Parade 2025 as well as sharing the latest volunteering news, funding opportunities, and upcoming events you won’t want to miss. As always, thank you for all the incredible work you do and happy reading!
