The Lord- Lieutenant is pleased to announce that applications are now being invited for the 2024 round of the King’s Award for Voluntary Service. 

Every day, millions of people across the UK are making a difference by volunteering. Each year, outstanding examples of this work are celebrated through the King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS).

Created in 2002 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee and previously known as The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS), the Award has been shining a light on the fantastic work of voluntary groups from all across the UK for many years.

Equivalent to an MBE, KAVS is the highest Award given to local voluntary groups in the UK, and they are awarded for life.

 

 If you know a group that is truly outstanding and making a big difference to their local community, a group where volunteers, rather than paid staff, are in the driving seat or a group that has highest standards in everything they do please nominate them and give them the recognition that they deserve.
