receives the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service,
the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK

The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service aims to recognise outstanding work by volunteer groups to benefit their local 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. It is the MBE for volunteer groups and is awarded for life.
We are thrilled to have received the award as it is a true testament to the dedication of our business volunteers who give up their time to make a difference to the futures of local young people.
We cannot think of a better way to celebrate the achievements of our amazing volunteers and thank them for their hard work and commitment to Learning to Work.
“We are incredibly proud to receive the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service in recognition of the hard work and dedication of the thousands of volunteers who have supported us over the years. We would not exist without them. We want to say a massive thank you to our amazing volunteers, who give up their time to support local young people and make a difference to their lives.” Rachael Burt – Chief Executive Officer, Learning to Work
