Royal recognition for going that extra mile

Do you wish to give Hampshire’s unsung heroes royal recognition by nominating them for the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service?  

The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service was launched by Her Majesty The Queen in 2002 to mark her Golden Jubilee and celebrates outstanding achievements by voluntary groups.  It is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon groups of this kind and is equivalent in status to the MBE.   

Previous Hampshire winners include the Oakhaven Hospice, Fleet Pond Society and The Salvation Army Haven Community Project.

Message from HM Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Mrs Mary Fagan JP
The Lord-Lieutenant, Mrs Mary Fagan,  said: “We are lucky to have so many dedicated voluntary groups and volunteers in Hampshire. The Queen’s Award is a wonderful way to recognise their hard work and I wholeheartedly encourage people to nominate groups who they think are making a real difference in their community.”

How to Nominate
In common with the UK National Honours, there are no deadlines for the receipt of nomination forms.  Award nominations will be considered at any point within 3 years of the nomination.  If you know of a volunteer group that devotes its time to helping others in your local community, and deserves recognition, nominate them for an award.  It’s easy to nominate.
