CARER Support Wiltshire, which has an office in Salisbury, is celebrating after receiving a quality standard mark.

The charity was awarded the Level 2 PQASSO quality mark by Charities Evaluation Services following an extensive audit of the governance, management and quality control procedures throughout the organisation.

PQASSO is the leading quality standard developed for the third sector and reinforces a charity’s credibility for all stakeholders, including service users, commissioners and partners.

Acting CEO at Carer Support Wiltshire Catharine Hurford said: ‘’Achieving this award has taken a huge amount of hard work by staff, trustees and volunteers. But we are not resting on our laurels: we will build on this achievement and continue to grow and develop as a quality provider of services and support for carers in Wiltshire.’’
