Ayr United Football Academy has received the prestigious Investing in Volunteers accreditation.
This accolade recognises the management support and professionalism of the systems and structure that support the fantastic volunteers who are the backbone of the organisation.
Investing in Volunteers is the UK Quality Standard for all organisations involving volunteers, which aims to improve the quality of the volunteering experience and for organisations to acknowledge the enormous contribution made by the volunteers.
A spokesperson for AUFA said “Throughout the Investing in Volunteers journey, Ayr United Football Academy have learned that this accreditation isn’t just about meeting standards – it’s about achieving volunteer excellence.
“Working through the process for the Investing in Volunteers Award gave us a fantastic opportunity to review our volunteer processes, to communicate with our volunteers from a different perspective, whilst actively listening to their different experiences and noting their feedback and, also, to get everyone within the academy working together towards the same goal.
