This award recognises organisations that are following national good practice in how they involve volunteers.
Receiving the quality award demonstrates that an organisation values volunteers and offers them a high quality, positive experience. Volunteering Kirklees were delighted to present The Welcome Centre with this award. The assessment panel were particularly impressed with the training and induction provided to volunteers and how they are kept up to date and involved with The Welcome Centre. The assessor really enjoyed her visit and it was clear that volunteers were supported and valued at The Welcome Centre.
