IAM RoadSmart celebrates Investors in Volunteers award
Road safety charity IAM RoadSmart has been awarded the prestigious Investing in Volunteers award.
IAM RoadSmart has around 5,000 volunteers across the country to help to deliver its driver and rider courses, and the award recognised it’s approach to volunteer management.
It was assessed on six criteria: vision for volunteering; planning for volunteers; volunteer inclusion; recruiting and welcoming volunteers; supporting volunteers; and valuing and developing volunteers
Nicola Smith, IAM RoadSmart people and culture director said: “We are incredibly proud of our volunteer service, and it is fantastic to be recognised by Investing in Volunteers. We hope this encourages more people to consider giving their time to this worthwhile experience. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of what we do; without them, we simply wouldn’t be able to achieve our mission of making roads safer for everyone in the UK. Our volunteers have a real passion for road safety, and they work tirelessly to make this passion a reality.”
The chair of awarding body UKVF added:
“UKVF is delighted to announce IAM RoadSmart’s successful achievement of this Award, they have demonstrated a real commitment to volunteering, and proven that their volunteer management policies and procedures meet nationally recognised standards.”
