Introduction to The Kings Award of Voluntary Service
This informal workshop aims to widen the understanding and support applications for the King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS), which is the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK.
The award was created in 2002 to celebrate the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s II Coronation. It is the MBE for volunteer groups and is awarded for life. Within Cambridgeshire, there are only a handful of winners, and we feel there are more worthy groups that should be nominated.
The award is presented to outstanding groups of volunteers whose initiative and impact are truly exceptional. Each group is assessed on its benefit to the local community and its standing within that community.
Why will this event be helpful to me?
This informal webinar sets out the process and information surrounding nominating an organisation for the Kings Award for Voluntary Service. It will give you an idea of how to process your nomination and what else you would need to do, plus some helpful hints on why others have not been successful. This is followed by questions and answers.
What outcomes can you expect to achieve if you attend this session?
You will leave the webinar with a better idea of what is important in the nomination and whether that group should be nominated.
Who should attend this training
Nominations have to come from outside the organisation; however, groups can encourage others to put them forward, knowing the process.
Please note:
We suggest you ensure the group you represent can apply for the award BEFORE attending. You can do this HERE
Support Cambridgeshire does not influence this award and only can provide the information from the KAV team.
