The award in a nutshell was awarded to our volunteers as a group of 70+
volunteers; 4 of our volunteers as part of the nomination process were invited
and attended The Queen’s Garden Party on 22 May 2103. We are the only organisation in Bedford to
receive the Award in 2013 and one of only 117 throughout the whole of the UK.
THE QUEEN'S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE
The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award given to volunteer groups
across the UK.
Who is eligible
Any group of 2 or more people doing volunteering work can be nominated for the
award. The majority of the group must be volunteers, and more than half the
volunteers must have the right to live in the UK.

|
To be nominated they should do work that:
• provides a service and meets a need for people
living in the local community
• is supported, recognised and respected by the
local community and the people who benefit from it
• is run locally
What the winners get
Winners get a certificate signed by the Queen and a domed glass crystal.
Representatives from the group may also be invited to attend a royal garden
party.
How the winners are decided
Local assessment panels look at all the nominations and decide which ones to
send to the National Award Committee.
The committee makes recommendations to the Cabinet Office, which sends a final
list to the Queen for her approval.
