Action Old Kilpatrick

Action Old Kilpatrick is a fully consituted community group, comprising a number of volunteers whose aim is to enhance the environment and celebrate the heritage of Old Kilpatrick

The AOK committee meet every month (on the third Monday of each month), currently only on Zoom. Volunteers also meet to when required to discuss plans and activities - mainly gardening activities.

We raise money ourselves - in the past we have organised fundraising events, sold plants and flowers, accepted donations from local businesses and residents. We have also secured funding from the lottery funds, West Dunbartonshire Council Participatory budgeting programme, and other available funding streams. AOK members are all volunteers who take no payment for their work.

Any resident of Old Kilpatrick (or surrounding areas) can become a member/volunteer. There is no obligation to attend meetings or take part in activities - all volunteers do what they can, when they can. If you'd like to get involved - whether to join the committee or just help out here and there, just get in touch or come and speak to any AOK volunteer at events or when we're out and about.

No, volunteering with AOK will cost you nothing - in fact, if you incur any expenses, we will reimburse you (e.g. if you buy plants or travel costs for a training course provided by AOK).
