Investing in Volunteers
Investing in Volunteers (IiV) is the UK quality standard for good practice in volunteer management. We’re proud to have held this accreditation for our volunteer programme since 2012, and to have successfully attained re-accreditation in 2015. By working to both achieve this award and then maintain its standards, our aim is to ensure all our volunteers have a fantastic experience with the Trust.
Our Strategy
Our new strategy – Nature, Beauty & Heritage for Everyone – provides a framework for the future of the National Trust for Scotland as we look towards our centenary in 2031.
