Historic Landmark Secures National Recognition for Volunteering Schemes
A historic landmark welcoming thousands of visitors each year has earned national recognition for the way it supports and works alongside its volunteers.
Greenfield Valley has been officially recognised with the Investing in Volunteers (IiV) accreditation, highlighting Greenfield Valley Trust's commitment to supporting and valuing volunteers.
To achieve the standard, organisations must meet six rigorous quality areas:
- vision for volunteering
- planning
- inclusion
- recruitment
- support
- valuing and developing volunteers
Volunteers have long been at the heart of Greenfield Valley, from running craft activities and family events, to researching the history of Basingwerk Abbey, transforming gardens, and maintaining the 70-acre site near Holywell.
“We are deeply honoured to have received this accreditation. It is a testament to the hard work of our volunteers, who are often the unsung heroes of the Valley” - Ian Brebner, Chair of Greenfield Valley Trust.
