Investing in Volunteers
The Investing in Volunteers scheme is the UK standard for all organisations which involve volunteers in their work. The standard enables organisations to comprehensively review their volunteer management and also publicly demonstrate their commitment to volunteering (www.investinginvolunteers.org.uk)

Aberdeen Forward has gained this award in October 2010.
