Awards
The King's Award for Voluntary Service:
These Awards, which were inaugurated by The late Queen to mark her Golden Jubilee in 2002, recognise the vital role played by the voluntary sector in the community by rewarding excellence by the ‘unsung heroes’ of the voluntary world. The Award is an equivalent to an MBE for a group of volunteers who work in their local community for the benefit of others.
The winners are announced in November each year and are presented with a certificate, signed by HM The King, and an exclusive commemorative crystal by the Lord-Lieutenant at a ceremony held at County Hall.
