SWINDON: Volunteer Centre Swindon is one of only 25 organisations to be nominated as an advisor in the Volunteers Quality Standard Award process. The new role means it can work with local groups who want to achieve the Volunteers Quality Standard Award.

Manager Sue Dunmore said: “It gives us the chance to work with local organisations in helping them to demonstrate their commitment to volunteering and effective volunteer management. This is important at a time when more is being asked of the voluntary sector and of volunteers.”
