The Volunteer Friendly Award is part of the IiV quality pipeline and is a standard to support, recognise and reward small to medium sized groups who are good at involving volunteers.

Volunteer Friendly was developed in Scotland in partnership with Volunteer Scotland and their third sector network (TSIs) and we are delighted to bring it to our NI members.  It’s never been more important for groups to be able to show how good they are at involving and managing their volunteers.  We believe regardless of your group or organisation size or set up you should be rewarded and recognised for the difference your volunteer programme makes.
