The King’s Award for Voluntary Service Shropshire Briefing Workshops 2026
Could your volunteer group be recognised with the highest award for local voluntary organisations in the UK?

The King's Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS) celebrates the incredible contribution made by volunteer-led groups and is the equivalent of an MBE for voluntary organisations.

Any volunteer group with three or more members can be nominated, and groups do not need to be registered charities to apply.

The Lord-Lieutenant is keen to see even more organisations across Shropshire recognised for their valuable work, following the success of many local groups who have already received this honour.

To help groups learn more about the award and nomination process, a series of free briefing workshops will be taking place across Shropshire and online.

When: Monday 14 September 2026 at 2.00pm – 3.30pm at the Telford & Wrekin Council Chamber, above the Library in Southwater 1, Telford TF3 4JG
Or Tuesday 29 September Virtual Workshop 7.00pm - 8.00pm on Zoom

To book your place, please contact Shelley Davies.

It was wonderful to see so many happy faces, hear all the giggles, and watch some seriously impressive juggling and plate-spinning skills! 🎟️✨

A special thank you to The Wrekin Housing Group for part-funding this fantastic event. Your support helped make this brilliant day possible. 💛

It was a real joy to bring the community together for an afternoon of fun, laughter and circus magic. We hope you went home with happy memories — and maybe even a new party trick or two! 🎉
