NEXT VOLT SESSIONS:

King’s Award for Voluntary Service
Wednesday 8 October 2025  |  10-11.30am  |  Online

The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS) is the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK.  It is the MBE for volunteer groups and recognises volunteers who are making an outstanding and exceptional contribution in their communities.  Join us for an online information session where you will hear from Sandra Adair, the NI Representative on the National KAVS Committee, about the nomination and assessment process, as well as the benefits to all the volunteers in achieving this prestigious award.
