Congratulations to all involved
Two charities in Nottinghamshire have made the list a unique one-off addition to the annual Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, created in honour of Her Late Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. They are among the 20 charities that have been recognised for their "exceptional work to empower young people".
From large household names to those operating on a smaller scale, the work of each awardee is vital in providing young people aged 16-25 with new opportunities, challenges, activities and skills. Her Late Majesty The Queen displayed a life-long dedication to public service throughout her 70-year reign. This one-off edition of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service recognises the thousands of volunteers who have showcased a similar longstanding commitment to their work.
“They highlight the indispensable role that the voluntary sector plays in targeting help, advice and guidance where it is needed most. These awards should also be seen as a tribute to the millions of volunteers and donors who, in difficult times, provide the resources of time and money which contribute so powerfully to the social fabric of our country."
