  Volunteer Friendly Award (VFA)
Ross-Shire Voluntary Action is registered To Assist & Enable Local Voluntary Groups To Gain The Volunteer Friendly Award.    The Volunteer Friendly Award is a simple, user-friendly quality standard designed by Volunteer Center Dundee to support, recognize and reward groups who are good at involving volunteers. Many essential services in Scotland’s communities are enhanced by volunteers. Volunteering also has a significant social value as it is increasingly being used to give excluded individuals the chance to build their confidence and skills through helping others.

It has never been more important for groups to be able to show how good they are at involving and managing their volunteers.

The Volunteer Friendly Award helps you to take a systematic look at what you do and how you do it.  It offers a flexible approach which allows your group to work at its own pace, with full support from your local Volunteer Centre. It is based on the national standard Investing in Volunteers (IiV) but is designed for small organisations which
may not be ready to undertake IiV yet, or which may be looking for a stepping stone towards IiV.

VF Award is a local quality award (based on the 10 standards from Investing in Volunteers) designed to:
  • Provide support, guidance and information on working with volunteers
  • Recognise and reward groups who are good at working with volunteers
Who is it for :
  • Any group which involves volunteers to carry out its work or
  • Any group thinking about involving volunteers to carry out its work
How does it work :

There are three parts to The Volunteer Friendly Award:


  • Checklist for self - assessment
  • Support to develop an action plan
  • The Volunteer Friendly Award
