Volunteering Quality Award At the Volunteer Centre, we aim to encourage growth and development of charities, groups and organisations in the Barnsley Borough, by providing a reliable and objective benchmark for best practice in volunteering.

We have recently launched our Volunteering Quality Award, which is specially designed to help this. The award's aim is to recognise organisations, groups and projects that are demonstrating best practice and high standards in creating excellent volunteer experiences for anyone offering their time and skills. For anyone looking to volunteer in Barnsley, the Volunteering Quality Award may help you to make an informed choice of where to volunteer, knowing that certain standards have been met by the organisation, charity or group. We look at things like if an organisation is inclusive, fair, supportive and recognises the value volunteers can give. These are standards that are not just recognised in South Yorkshire, across the other volunteer centres in the region, but also across Yorkshire and their volunteer centres. We would like to say a HUGE congratulations to the Independent Visitors Service, who are the first Barnsley organisation to achieve this award, after a lengthy and detailed accreditation period.
