Investing in Volunteers Quality Standard for Volunteer Management

Investing in Volunteers is the UK Quality Standard for all organisations which involve volunteers in their work.
Whether your volunteer programme is well established or just developing, Investing in Volunteers offers you a benchmark of 46 practices for effective volunteer management - an invaluable FREE resource for ALL volunteer involving organisations!
Volunteer Now can provide you with a free “healthcheck” against the Standard. You can meet with a trained assessor who will assess you against the practices and provide you with an action plan and advice on how to take your organisation forward. For more information contact Sandra.Faulkner@volunteernow.co.uk

Or why not take your commitment to quality a step further? By being assessed against the Standard, your organisation can publicly demonstrate its commitment to good practice and receive a National Award for quality in volunteer management.
Volunteer Now is responsible for managing Investing in Volunteers in Northern Ireland and for assessing organisations against the Standard.
