Hot off the press is the news that the Volunteer Centre has successfully renewed its Investor in People status. (27th Feb 2007)

Staff, trustees and volunteers are all delighted that the award, originally gained in 2004, has been confirmed for another 3 years.

After a day of interviews with the team, the IiP Assessor said she considered Volunteer Centre Dacorum to be an exemplar organisation and would be recommending it for a nomination as an Investors in People Champion!

Since 2004, the IiP standard has been made tougher, with much more emphasis on the Business Planning process and the involvement of all personnel in decision making.

Basing strategic planning on the delivery of the 6 core functions of a Volunteer Centre has enabled us to develop a logical framework for the Business Plan. It also ensures that we maintain Volunteering England Quality Accreditation and meet the performance indicator targets for our Partnership Agreement with Dacorum Borough Council.
