Nominations for the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service 2023 are now open.
The award is part of the Honours system and is specifically for local volunteer groups that are well run, making a significant difference to local people's lives and, importantly, have volunteers (rather than paid staff) in the lead.
Anyone can nominate a voluntary group for an award, as long as they are completely independent from it (i.e. not a volunteer, member of staff or otherwise directly involved).
To learn more, and make a nomination before the Thursday 15 September closing day, please visit the award website.
