Three voluntary groups in Northamptonshire have been honoured with the King’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest available to UK volunteer organisations.Representatives from each group will be presented with an award crystal and certificate later this year by James Saunders Watson, Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire.
A spokesperson for NSAR said the group was “immensely proud” and “astonished” to be recognised by the King. With a team of 48 volunteers, the group has been deployed to nearly 600 incidents, assisting in operations including missing-person searches and flood responses.The Voluntary Services team from St Andrew’s Healthcare was honoured for its volunteers' impact on the lives of hundreds of patients.

They added: "We would like to wish a Happy Birthday to His Majesty The King, we hope you have a wonderful day, you've certainly made ours!"How closely have you been paying attention to what's been going on in the world over the past seven days?The monarch smiled as the group of youngsters sang to him with their teachers during a visit for a food poverty project.
