Improving Ways of Working

        



Volunteer Development Scotland has developed many programmes and tools to improve ways of working with volunteers. As a Centre for Excellence we have researched the way volunteering works across Scotland and have produced best practice guides for those working with volunteers to help improve the volunteering experience for everyone.

We also have award schemes which both recognise the work volunteering organisations do and also puts a structure in place within an organisation to help develop their volunteer process and management. We also have available the Volunteering Toolkit - A practical guide for assessing the impact of volunteering on your organisation.



So, if you want to know how to...

• Measure the impact of your volunteers in your organisation, their thoughts? Your management? Your practice?
• Source quality learning opportunities in the management of volunteers? Achieve the only UK Quality Standard Award in volunteers management practice for organisations?
• Access support and guidance of tailored learning packages for your organisation or network?

Also, would you like to...
