VOLT Session: The King’s Award for Voluntary Service

Following the Accession of King Charles III, The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service will now become The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS).

The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest Award given to local volunteer groups across the UK to recognise outstanding work done in their own communities.  It is the MBE for volunteer groups and is awarded to groups of volunteers whose level of initiative and impact are truly exceptional.  182 volunteer groups currently hold the Award in N Ireland and there will be more awardees being announced in November 23.  Do you know an inspirational group that could be nominated?

This free VOLT session to promote the Award and explain the nomination process, is being organised by the NI Representative for the King’s Award for Voluntary Service in partnership with Volunteer Now.  The event is aimed at potential nominators and interested groups.  It will be an opportunity to hear from those involved in promoting the Award and from others who have been through the process.

Date:  Wednesday 7 June 2023
Time:  10.00-11.00am
Cost:  FREE
