Tees Valley Together received its Tees Valley Volunteering Charter certificate this week presented by Suganya Subramaniaraja, volunteer coordinator at MVDA.
Tees Valley Together is a support organisation run primarily as an accessible food bank, providing care parcels to those living in poverty within our communities, but they also do whatever they can to help provide relief and to help lift families out of poverty. They rely on volunteers to provide this service, and by adopting the charter it demonstrates their commitment to ensuring volunteers are safe, valued, and undertake meaningful tasks which make a real difference to their communities.
The Charter has been developed by the Tees Valley Infrastructure Partnership, a group of voluntary sector bodies which provide advice, support and a voice for the thousands of voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in the region.
Suganya said:
"The aim of the Charter is to enable our partner organisations to demonstrate to volunteers that they will have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding experience. We encourage other organisations to come forward and sign up to share their commitment to volunteers."
