Volunteer Skills Award (VSA)

SQA Volunteer Skills Award (VSA) Dundee DIWC

Who is it for?

If you are keen to share your skills and experience, make friends and become part of a vibrant community, then the Volunteer Skills Award is the course for you.

What is covered?

This is an SQA accredited course that allows you to gain a qualification while carrying out a volunteering role.

The course involves: learning about volunteer organisations, carrying out a self-assessment of your skills and abilities, undertaking a number of hours volunteering at DIWC, keeping a log book of your activities, and carrying out a small project.

What can I gain?

An award in volunteering skills, SCQF Level 3, 4 or 5, and work experience as a volunteer at DIWC.

When are the classes?

This course is not currently available.
If you would like to know more about this course please email reception@diwc.co.uk to register your interest. You will be then contacted with any information regarding the return of this qualification.

What do our learners say?

I like the class because it is informal and relaxed. Taking notes in class and looking up further info at home is better as it can be done at my own pace. The teacher is also good and patient which gives the class a good atmosphere. The small class size is also good.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM DIWC

Dundee International Women’s Centre remains temporarily closed due to ongoing concerns regarding the safety of the roof within our building at Manhattan Works.

We would like to reassure everyone that DIWC is not the only organisation affected by this situation. Other valuable local charities, including ADHD Dundee & Angus Support Group and Showcase the Street, are also currently impacted.

At present we are awaiting a further update from our landlord regarding next steps and timescales.

Please be assured that many of our classes and services are still continuing from different locations across Dundee thanks to the incredible support and kindness of other local organisations who have stepped in to help us during this difficult time.

A huge thank you to:

  • Dundee Women’s HUB
  • WRASAC Dundee & Angus
  • Fleming Gardens Sheltered Housing Complex
  • Boomerang
  • One Parent Families Scotland
  • IYN Maryfield
  • Stobswell Forum
  • HELM

Without these organisations generously providing space for us, continuing services would not have been possible.

1:1 support remains available. If you require support, please contact:

support@diwc.co.uk

01382 462058

We truly hope to be back in our centre very soon and will continue to keep everyone updated as soon as we receive further information.

If any organisations or community groups have available office space or rooms suitable for classes or support sessions, please get in touch with us at: mail@diwc.co.uk

Thank you to everyone for your patience, support and kindness during this challenging time.
