The King’s Award for Voluntary Service celebrates the outstanding work of local volunteer groups across the UK.

Equivalent to an MBE, the King’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest Award given to local voluntary groups in the UK, and is awarded for life.

And now, organisations across North Birmingham can find out how they can get involved in the scheme and possibly earn well-deserved recognition for their volunteers; individuals and groups who have gone beyond the call of duty.

Information sessions

A number of sessions are being held to give  people the opportunity to find out more about this prestigious award, including the application process, timescales, and the difference it can make to your group and volunteers.
