Its annual golf tournament and fun run, which is in its 18th year, have been staple events in the Falkirk calendar.

The branch members also give regular talks to groups and have built relationships with local businesses over the years, such as Rotary Clubs, to raise BHF Scotland’s profile throughout the community.

Bill Brodie, Branch Chairman said: “It’s a real delight, pleasure and privilege to be here and to receive this award.

“It’s been a long journey and we’ve done many different things to raise money.”
