The King's Award for Voluntary Service

We are thrilled and extremely proud to announce that we have been awarded the King's Award for Voluntary Service.

Each year the Award shines a light on outstanding examples of voluntary groups from all across the UK.

This lifetime award is the highest given to UK voluntary groups, and is equivalent to an MBE, so we are particularly proud to receive it.

It’s a really significant acknowledgement of the commitment, compassion and practical contribution that our volunteers make every day in helping our members to feel connected, included and valued.

So, to all of our volunteers, we want to say a HUGE thank you, for the HUGE difference, day in, day out, that you make to the lives of our members and their families!
