Training

The Volunteer Centre Western Isles can offer the Volunteer Development Scotland Training Programme for volunteer managers plus information on other national training programmes and accreditation programmes for your volunteers.

Topics include: Introduction to Managing Volunteers, Understanding volunteer motivations, staff and volunteer relationships.

All learning opportunities are led by experienced facilitators and are aligned to quality standards in the management of volunteers, IIV and National Occupational Standards. Training events can be tailored to meet the needs of your organisation should you require places for a number of staff. Please contact admin@volunteercentrewi.org at the Stornoway office. Training is provided at the lowest possible cost (typically £5-15 a head) to allow as many groups as possible to access it. Concessions are available.

Our partners in C-CIG can provide training in Training on committee skills and financial recording and management.
