Awards

WCADA always strives for excellence and to this end has achieved numerous awards.

  • PQASSO Quality Mark - Level 1

    The PQASSO Quality Mark (now the Trusted Charity Mark) is the only quality mark that covers the work of charities.

    No other award addresses all the essential areas necessary for the effective management and governance of a charity. It is widely recognised as providing a comprehensive framework for running an effective organisation.

    An organisation that has the PQASSO Quality Mark offers a guarantee of being fit for purpose in all areas essential to commissioners; it is an external verification of the quality and credibility of an organisation.
