To ensure volunteering is a great experience for all, Volunteer Scotland has set out a Volunteer Charter identifying ten key principles for organisations to follow. These principles relate to:
- Ensuring volunteering is voluntary, not compulsory.
- Keeping volunteering accessible for all.
- Offering training and development opportunities to volunteers.
- Maintaining a clear distinction between paid staff and volunteers.
At Be the Change, our aim is for all of our organisations and opportunities listed to understand and follow these principles to the best of their ability.
We invite individuals and organisations across sectors to become Charter Champions, signalling a commitment to these values. The Third Sector Interface, Perth and Kinross is already a Charter Champion! Are you next?
