SUMMARY:Volunteers Week - A time to say ‘Thank You’ to the UK’s Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:This Volunteers’ Week we are encouraging everyone to take the time to say Thank You to all the UK’s volunteers. During an exceptionally difficult year\, people from all corners of the UK have taken the time to volunteer and make a huge difference to people and their communities – just as they do every year. \n\n\n\n\nVolunteers are always active at the heart of every UK community. They are behind many of the services we all rely on. Some have been volunteering online from home\, others in person with a local charity or organisation. Their crucial efforts have not stopped\, despite the uncertain times we find ourselves in\, and will continue as an important part of the nation’s recovery. \nThat is why on this 37th annual Volunteers’ Week it’s time to say\, ‘Thank You Volunteers!’ We want to recognise all of those who have continued delivering vital work as volunteers over the past 12 months but also all those who usually volunteer but have not been able to because of the pandemic.

SUMMARY:VSGWL General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Background\nScottish Government legislation and the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 introduced provisions allowing more flexibility for holding virtual meetings for corporate bodies\, including SCIOs\, charitable companies\, co-operatives\, community benefit societies and friendly societies. The deadline for groups registered with OSCR to amend their rules or articles of association to allow them to legally conduct AGM and similar meetings using remote technology needs to be in place by 30th March 2021. \nPurpose\nIn order to allow us flexibility to conduct General Meetings and our AGM online\, we will need to amend our Articles of Association (revised version attached) to make it ‘future proof’ and explicitly allow virtual meetings. We propose the following Special Resolution; \nSpecial Resolution\nAmend Clause 14.2 to: “Any or all of the members may participate in general meetings by means of electronic communication provided that throughout the meeting all persons participating in the meeting are able to communicate interactively with all other parties participating in the meeting. Participation in this manner is deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting for quorum purposes”. \nVoting Method\nYou can return the attached proxy vote herehttps://form.123formbuilder.com/5844366/form by 4.30pm on Wednesday 24 March. Alternatively\, you can attend a very short General Meeting at 10am on Thursday 25 March via zoom \nTo join Zoom Meeting – https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85900579060?pwd=YVRQS1VGb2U5eEEyK2dDRHV0eER0UT09 . \nMeeting ID: 859 0057 9060. \nPasscode: 527750
