We are here to support, promote and develop voluntary and community action in Middlesbrough

Volunteering Academy Quality Award launched in Middlesbrough

The Volunteering Academy has launched the Volunteering Academy Quality Award (VAQA) which recognises organisations for their services and support to volunteers. The VAQA also helps organisations give volunteers assurances on the quality of their experience.

We ran a pilot with seven volunteering-involved organisations (VIOs) to test the process. Recent award winners include Fareshare North East (Middlesbrough branch), The Junction, Tees Valley Together and Teesside Hospice

You can apply for the VAQA now, please visit the VAQA Award page where you'll find a simple application form and details of the process. Or get in touch with a member of the Volunteering Academy team.
