We are pleased to announce that The Buddy Bag Foundation Volunteers have received The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE.
BBF is one of 244 local charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups to receive the prestigious award this year. Their work, along with others from across the UK, reminds us of all the ways in which fantastic volunteers are contributing to their local communities and working to make life better for those around them.
The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service aims to recognise outstanding work by local volunteer groups to benefit their communities. It was created in 2002 to celebrate The Queen’s Golden Jubilee. Recipients are announced each year on 2nd June, the anniversary of The Queen’s Coronation.
To all our valued volunteers, we would like to say THANK YOU for all your support by helping us make a difference to children in emergency care.
In recognition of the hard work of our volunteers
We are thrilled and overjoyed for our volunteers to be awarded The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS). The Buddy Bag Foundation has now had over 4,000 volunteers so this award is in recognition of their hard work and support over the last seven years.
The Buddy Bag Foundation is a team effort, as we rely solely on our volunteers. Everyone who is part of the charity is honoured and grateful to have received this award, receiving the QAVS in recognition of all our volunteers is priceless.
We are so excited to celebrate our accomplishment. Together we have achieved and are continuing to achieve something truly special.
We are delighted to see all our dedicated volunteers be recognised with this award. They should be very proud of the award and all that we have achieved. We have made a difference to over 44,000 children by supplying them with a ‘bag of love’, together we have achieved and are continuing to achieve something truly special.
