We involve volunteers because they are motivated, have fun helping and tell us it lets them give something back to the community. Volunteers are crucial to Brae.
Mary Sneddon, Centre Manager,
Brae RDA Partnership (Riding for the Disabled).
Volunteer Friendly is now being offered in 20 areas across Scotland, from Shetland to South Ayrshire. More than 100 groups have signed up to work their way through the Award and to get public recognition of how well they treat their volunteers. Over 60 groups can now proudly display the Volunteer Friendly logo.
"I have now adopted some new practice as a result of the award. For example, I have adopted an exit strategy format for interviewing volunteers prior to the conclusion of their volunteer agreements. This should help me to analyse their experience and consider any potential improvements as a result that might needed for future volunteers in similar roles."
