The Queens's Award for Voluntary Services - A Halesworth Celebration

On 9th December 2022, we were honored to receive the Queen's Award for Volunteering.

Many of us had a tear in the eye when we finally received our Queen's Award and a beautiful certificate signed by Her Majesty the Queen.  Clare, Countess of Euston, our Lord-Lieutenant gave a very moving address, reminding us of the amazing service of our late Queen Elizabeth, but also explaining that this is a very personal Award and the Queen would have taken time to find out about the work of our fantastic volunteers.

This award recognizes the amazing contribution our volunteers have made to the community.

It was wonderful to see so many of our volunteers, old and new at our celebration.  As well as trustees, service users and representatives from other local groups and organizations.

Thank you to Reverend Dominic Doble and St Mary's Church for hosting such a lovely event.
