**More than 100 volunteering groups across the UK have been chosen as winners of
this year’s Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.**

All winners have been nominated by members of the public who have either benefited
from their work, or seen the positive effect on their community. The Award is only
given to those groups where volunteers are judged to have regularly devoted their
time to providing an outstanding level of help to other people.

The annual Award was originally called the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Award for Voluntary
Service, created in April 2002 to mark the occasion of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee.
