NAVCA Quality Accreditation

NAVCA awards the nationally recognised Local Infrastructure and Volunteer Centre Quality Accreditations.

  The LIQA and VCQA are quality marks that all stakeholders can rely on, which support organisations providing local VCS infrastructure and Volunteer Centres to be confident about their own quality and identify where they can develop their offer. They ensure that local communities and VCSE organisations accessing services can be confident of effective, high-quality support. They enable stakeholders including local authorities, health bodies and other commissioners and funders to be confident they are investing in and working alongside effective local partners.
