Volunteers Quality Standard for Just Drop-In

Local charity, Just Drop-In, which is dedicated to helping Macclesfield’s young people, has recently achieved the Investing in Volunteers Quality Standard, recognising the excellent work they do with the volunteers.

Faye Ronan, Volunteer Co-ordinator sums up, “I’m delighted to have achieved the Investing in Volunteers Standard; It has enabled us to refine our work with our valued volunteers, improving everything from recruitment to consultation. I feel proud knowing our volunteer programme is to the best standard, officially!”

Investing in Volunteers is the UK quality standard for all organisations involving volunteers aiming to improve the quality of the volunteering experience for all volunteers and for organisations to acknowledge the enormous contribution made by volunteers.

Just Drop-In was assessed against a range of best practice standards and proved to excel in all aspects of working with its volunteers.

The charity has received praise from their local MP and Patron David Rutley “It is great to see Just Drop-In achieve this high standard, which is richly deserved by the charity. I strongly support the important work taken forward by Just Drop-In, and have seen first-hand the excellent work and support they provide to those who count on their assistance. I also know how hard the team works to develop the skills and experience of their volunteers. I would like to congratulate everyone involved in achieving this important accolade.”
