King's Award For Voluntary Service

As we all know Tameside, Oldham and Rochdale have many voluntary and charitable organisations which do amazing work within their communities.  Without the volunteers who give their time so freely, many of these groups would not survive and so it is right that these bighearted people are recognised in a significant and meaningful way.  The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (formerly known as the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service) is the highest award given to local volunteer led groups across the UK.
