Ian's Story I deliver and collect the money cans that are in various businesses in the Stirling area. I am also a volunteer driver at the weekends taking samples and prescriptions to and from Forth Valley Hospital. I have been volunteering for about 20 years delivering cans and I think it is about two years since they started the weekend drivers. There are no set duties I normally get a call from Strathcarron to collect the full cans or to deliver to a new fundraiser. The weekend driver duty is similar using a WhatsApp group. My dad was a volunteer driver and can collector for many years and he encouraged me to volunteer. What I enjoy most about volunteering is that it gives me the opportunity to meet fundraisers and also visit the Hospice where without fail the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. I appreciate how much it costs to run Strathcarron and by collecting cans and driving at the weekend it goes some way to reducing expenditure.
