Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service

NEON – Recipients of the 2021 ‘Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service’

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 Queen’s and now 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, QAVS and KAVS is the highest Award given to local voluntary groups in the UK, and they are awarded for life.

Networking in East Oldham Neighbourhoods (NEON) were proud recipients of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS) in 2021.
