The King's Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS)

16th August 2024

Celebrating the outstanding work of local volunteer groups across the UK.

KAVS aims to recognise outstanding local volunteering groups from across the UK.

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 King’s Award for Voluntary Service (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.

Nominations for the 2025 round will open on 1st September 2024!
