Meet the Central Area Support Team (AST)

Central Team

Your Central AST is here to support you every step of the way.

Covering Clackmannanshire, Falkirk, Stirling and West Lothian, our team brings together staff and volunteers who make sure Panel Members feel connected, confident and supported.

From wellbeing and learning, to practical guidance and local knowledge, the Central AST ensures you have the people and resources you need to make a difference.

Once appointed, you’ll also have access to our Regional Hub – your one-stop space for updates, tools and support throughout your volunteer journey.
