On 23rd May Kent Community Foundation hosted a webinar with Sir Martyn Lewis CBE, the KAVS Chair and HM Lord-Lieutenant of Kent, The Lady Colgrain to hear all about the nomination process and qualifying criteria for the Kings Award for Voluntary Service which opens in June this year.
Every day, millions of people across the UK are making a difference by volunteering. Each year, outstanding examples of this work are celebrated through the King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS).
Created in 2002 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee and previously known as The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS), the Award has been shining a light on the fantastic work of voluntary groups from all across the UK for many years.
Equivalent to an MBE, KAVS is the highest Award given to local voluntary groups in the UK, and they are awarded for life.
