Testimonials:
“Voluntary Action Harrow (VAH) has helped Radio Northwick Park (RNP) become a more professional and structured organisation to volunteer for. It was glaringly obvious from initial discussions that RNP had a serious lack of policies that should be there to protect the charity and our members. VAH helped us introduce many new rules and regulations, which have helped us streamline work, create more thorough procedures and have provided clearer guidance for the trustees to run the organisation and the members to volunteer their time. As a small charity, we have often acted in accordance with unwritten rules, using common sense to guide us. However it was clear that not everyone will always share the same methods of thought and the time had come to write these unwritten rules down, to avoid ambiguities and frustration. The timing of this overhaul was perfect, as we had already started to pursue a stronger DBS process, so we took this opportunity to reflect on all of our policies. Sarah was great to work with, being available on the phone and email regularly, but also coming to see us multiple times in unsociable hours and obviously had worked hard on adapting the policies to suit the type of organisation we are. We’re now a stronger and more professional charity with a more future-proof structure thanks to VAH.”
