North West Leicestershire Volunteer Centre is now an Investor in Volunteers Partner Agency whose role is to work with voluntary organisations and businesses wishing to achieve the standard.
What is Investing in Volunteers?
Investing in Volunteers (IiV) is the national quality standard recognising good practice in organisations’ volunteer management.
The standard is applicable to any volunteer involving organisation with any number of volunteers across the third and public sector.
The standard is based on the four main areas of volunteer management:
• Planning for volunteer involvement
• Recruiting volunteers
• Selecting and matching volunteers
• Supporting and retaining volunteers.
These areas have been divided into 10 indicators, each supported by a range of practices that your organisation needs to be carrying out in order to achieve the Investing in Volunteers award.
