We are proud to announce that Care and Repair Ltd has been awarded the
Investing In Volunteers Standard.

 

Investing in Volunteers

  • Investing In Volunteers is the UK quality standard for all organisations involving volunteers.

  • Investing In Volunteers aims to improve the quality of the volunteering experience for all volunteers and for organisations to acknowledge the enormous contribution made by volunteers.

  • Investing In Volunteers is managed by the UK Volunteering Forum and delivered by Volunteering England, Volunteer Development Scotland, Volunteer Development Agency in Northern Ireland and Wales Council for Voluntary Action.

We have opportunities within the organisation for both mentored and non-mentored (community) volunteers.

 

Both mentored and non-mentored volunteers can claim for any volunteer related expense, i.e. travel or sustenance.

 

All volunteers will be offered support and supervision from the volunteer co-ordinator, as well as being invited to take part in training and staff meetings, they will be kept up to date through the organisations monthly newsletter.
