The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service

18 Jun 2012     Last updated: 20 Jun 2014

Volunteer Now and NICVA have participated in assessing applications for these prestigious awards since the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service was established in 2002 and would like you to nominate your local volunteer groups now.

Applications are now open for this and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Volunteering Award for 2012 and we'd like to encourage you to find out more about how you can apply at an event on 28 June.

Dame Mary Peters is helping to raise the profile of two Awards that recognise volunteering at an event on 28 June 2012 from 2.30pm-4.00pm in Volunteer Now's offices at 34 Shaftesbury Square, Belfast. 

The Queen'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, while The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Volunteering Award for 2012 is for national organisations, rather than local groups, including those organisations involved in Olympic and Paralympic games volunteering and its legacy.

Applications are now open for both Awards and the event is a good opportunity to learn how you can apply for either Award and recognise your volunteers. Please email [email protected] to book a place, or call 028 9081 8316 by 26 June 2012.
