Recognition for the effective involvement of volunteers!

Ffynnon Community Resilience is proud to be an Investing in Volunteers (IiV) achiever, having been
awarded the quality standard in 2026 for the first time. It shows that we value our
volunteers and demonstrates our commitment to volunteering within the organisation.

“I am very happy to receive this award on behalf of Ffynnon and we owe it all to our amazing volunteers that make managing them easy!” Tessa, Volunteer co-ordinator.

Investing in Volunteers is the UK quality standard for all organisations involving volunteers.
Investing in Volunteers aims to improve the quality of the volunteering experience for all
volunteers and demonstrates that organisations value the enormous contribution made by their
volunteers. Investing in Volunteers is delivered by the national volunteering infrastructure
bodies in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Together they enable organisations across the UK to
achieve the award.

Ffynnon was assessed against six quality areas and proved to excel in all aspects of working with
its volunteers. The Chair of UKVF (the Awarding Body) said “UKVF is delighted to announce
Ffynnon ‘s successful achievement of this Award, they have demonstrated a real commitment to
volunteering, proven that their volunteer management policies and procedures meet nationally
recognised standards.”

Investing in Volunteers is unique in that it is the only standard that focuses on volunteers. It is
based on the following six quality areas:
1. Vision for Volunteering
2. Planning for Volunteers
3. Volunteer inclusion
4. Recruiting and welcoming volunteers
5. Supporting volunteers
6. Valuing and developing volunteers

Further information about the Standard can be found on investinginvolunteers.co.uk. The
Standard will enhance volunteer management and is rigorous, but is designed to be simple to
implement and to not generate large amounts of paperwork.

Ffynnon’s mission is to build a strong community by supporting people to grow and eat local food together, and connect to nature. We support volunteer-led community gardens, provide free community meals and fridge, run programs for kids to get outside and learn about food and farming, and support people to become farmers.
