We are so honoured and delighted to have received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award that can be given to voluntary groups in the UK and the equivalent of an MBE.
KAVS is a lifetime achievement award given to groups that are truly outstanding and making a big difference to their local community, where volunteers, rather than paid staff, are in the driving seat, and that have the highest standards in everything they do.
Our 850 volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation and at the heart of our model of support. Together, they donate around 90,000 hours of their time each year to ensure that people who feel suicidal can access swift, compassionate and confidential support, face to face. This award is a great tribute to each and every one of them.
