Opportunities for Volunteer Involving Organisations
The project will be inviting applications from VIO’s who are interested in undertaking the process of accreditation for the Investing in Volunteers Programme, as awarded by Volunteering England.
As an organisation you may apply for financial assistance towards the cost of IIV and the EVD Project Co’ordinator in the Volunteers Centre (Gill Stringer) will work with you through the processes towards accreditation, acting as a Volunteer Development Agency (VDA) on behalf of Volunteering England. In this way the VDA can, amongst other benefits, provide reassurance & encouragement both during the process and following achievement of the award.For further information and an application pack please contact gill@plymouthguild.org.uk or give us call on 01752-201766.
