Maintenance/Building Support Volunteer

The Falkirk Braes Grange Centre (FBGC) was formed in 2024 in order to progress a Community Asset Transfer of the old Grange Community Education Centre building, located in the Braes area of Falkirk. The new FBGC Committee, made up entirely of volunteers, successfully took on full community asset transfer ownership from October 2025. FBGCs vision is to create a well utilised, sport and wellbeing, community led asset that helps deliver long-term benefits to the local community.

The FBGC committee are looking to implement several large improvements to the building over the course of 2026 and are looking for volunteers to assist with the following tasks as part of these projects. We have a great team in place with lots of experience to help support you. You can choose how often you'd like to help out and which specific tasks/projects you feel confident to take on:


  • Assisting with writing contractor specifications

  • Engaging contractors and assessing quotes received for specified pieces of work

  • Opening the building and showing contractors around the centre

  • Setting contractors to work
