Volunteer Centre Quality Award
Volunteer Centre Quality Award
We are very pleased to announce that Carlow Volunteer Centre has received the Volunteer Centre Quality Award. Achievement of this award involved a rigorous review process to ensure that the standards of quality service delivery are sustainable and continuously upheld, and highlights the importance our staff place on providing the best possible assistance to our volunteers and organisations.
The Volunteer Centre Quality Award marks the successful achievement of the quality standards included in the Quality Standards Framework developed by Volunteer Ireland and the Volunteer Centre Managers’ Network (VCMN). The framework aims to ensure excellence and consistency across the volunteering infrastructure.
The framework covers the entire work of a Volunteer Centre including governance standards, management and administration as well as the core day-to-day work of supporting volunteers to get involved in their communities and supporting local organisations to develop quality volunteer opportunities and implement best practice in volunteer management.
Africa Day
Africa Day in Carlow
Africa Day celebrates the richness of African cultures and the contribution of people of African descent to Irish life. It was a morning of fun with music, food, entertainment, drumming, and lots more. Congratulations to all involved and special thanks to all the volunteers who helped out. It was a great party!
