Celebrating the outstanding work of local volunteer groups across the UK.
Following the Accession of King Charles III, The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service will now become The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS).
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 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.

Social businesses are an important and dynamic component of the Welsh economy. Social businesses include social enterprises, co-operatives, mutuals and employee owned businesses. They deliver good jobs, closer to home, where communities need them. Social businesses work actively to address local issues through trading and then reinvesting the income they earn into the things that matter to them.
