Action
Kit
To Improve on Organisational
Needs
What is the aKtion Kit?
As an organisation we need to make sure that everything we do helps
us to achieve our aims and objectives. We need to make sure that we use
our resources effectively and efficiently, and that we meet the needs
of everyone with an interest in our organisation.
In order to achieve this, Voluntary Action Waltham
Forest has developed the aKtion kit to give us a structure so that we
can review our work
in an on-going way. It will help us look at all areas of our organisation,
including:
- the service we offer to our ‘clients’
- the way we organise our financial and administrative
systems
- how we make decisions on a day-to-day basis or over
a longer period
- opportunities for feedback and involvement (including
service users) in looking to the future.

(£1).

kit , please send us a cheque payable to Voluntary Action Waltham Forest.

The aKtion Kit consists of:
- An organisational healthcheck (‘The Healthcheck Questionnaire’)
- A skills audit (‘An Audit of our Skills and Knowledge’)
- A tool enabling the organisation to draw
up an action plan (‘Getting
There!’)
- A list of resources (‘Strengthening Our Organisation’)
The kit’s purpose is to help groups to look at the systems and
procedures (S & P) that they have in place, and to identify how and
where they need to be developed and improved.
The aKtion kit will help groups to take the first step towards seeking
to secure a recognised Quality Assurance accreditation such as P’Quasso
or even the Quality Mark.The aKtion kit is now available through Voluntary
Action. There are a limited number of copies, which are being offered
to organisations
in Waltham Forest on a first-come-first-served basis.
