King’s Award for Voluntary Service 2025 – Would you consider nominating a local Group or Organisation?
The 2025 timeline launched on the 1st September 2024, with nominations closing on the 1st December 2024.
The King’s Award for Voluntary Service celebrates the outstanding work of local volunteer groups across the UK. Every day, people throughout the country 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 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. Equivalent to an MBE, KAVS is the highest Award given to local voluntary groups in the UK, and they are awarded for life.
There are lots of amazing Volunteer Groups working across the Western Isles who would be worthy of such an award and you are encouraged to consider nominating a group from our local community within the 1st September to 1st December window for applications
