Volunteer Friendly Award Dundee says goodbye to Wendy Taylor

20 September 2018

Wendy Taylor is moving to pastures new after 5 years supporting Volunteer Friendly Award in Dundee and across Scotland. She is moving to England and will still be working in the Voluntary Sector supporting Volunteers.

"It has been a privilege to work with organisations to achieve the Volunteer Friendly Award and supporting them to improve their volunteeer management practice over the past 5 years. The award is a great tool for organisations to support them to review and develop their volunteer management practice and I have developed the process to use an online e-portfolio which makes it easier to access. Although I am moving back to England I am not completing leaving as will continue to volunteer as a peer assessor for the award."

In their own words

"I have now adopted some new practice as a result of the award. For example, I have adopted an exit strategy format for interviewing volunteers prior to the conclusion of their volunteer agreements. This should help me to analyse their experience and consider any potential improvements as a result that might needed for future volunteers in similar roles."
