Introduction to Investing in Volunteers

As part of Volunteers’ Week 2025 celebrations, this online workshop introduces the Investing in Volunteers (IiV) Quality Standard and what it takes to achieve the award. Drawing on Home-Start Manchester’s real-life journey through the process, the session will broadly cover:

• What IiV is and how it benefits your organisation

• The 6 steps to achieving the award

• Roles and responsibilities: organisation, assessor, local partners

• Initial self-assessment activity

• Practical insights, challenges, and top tips from an accredited organisation

Whether you're curious about starting your IiV journey or want to understand more about quality in volunteer management, this is a great opportunity to learn during the national week of celebration and recognition.
