It’s official… we’ve got Investing in Volunteers status!

As many of you know, we've been on a long journey over the last 12 months to achieve the UK wide recognized Investing in Volunteer quality standard. We wanted to work towards this so that, in the process, we can make sure we are delivering a great service to our volunteers, and in turn, all our volunteers are being as productive and included as possible.

We haven't done this on our own.

To EVERYONE we would like to say a very big thank you for your time, hard work, effort, comments, encouragement and constructive feedback. As a result of teamwork and intense development, we are absolutely thrilled, delighted and proud to announce that GUCH PA has now been awarded the Investing in Volunteers status - the UK quality standard for good practice in Volunteer Management.

So, what does this mean for us now? We'll certainly not be resting on our laurels. We know that it took a lot of work to get to this point and we are committed to maintaining and further improving the volunteer experience all round. So. One journey ends, and another just begins. We look forward to seeing you along the way!
