Howard Lake | 8 June 2006 | News
Nominations can now be made for the 2007 Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, designed to recognise the vital role played by hundreds of thousands of ‘unsung heroes’ of the voluntary and community sector.
The Award is open to groups operating in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
To be eligible groups consisting of two or more people have to have been operating for at least three years, and provide “a high quality service to benefit individuals or groups in the community.” The group should also be made up entirely of volunteers (including trustees) or, if it includes some paid staff, they must be in the minority of those involved.

Groups solely involved in fundraising activities for charitable purposes, such as street collections, jumble sales or charity shops, are not eligible unless they are also providing a service to the community.
The closing date for applications is 30 September 2006.
