Last call for 2011 Queen's volunteer Award nominations
THE Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire is calling on the county to nominate outstanding local voluntary groups for next year's Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
Nominations for the 2011 Award should be received by September 30.
Anyone who knows of the great work or has benefited from a voluntary group's hard work, should nominate now.
Successful groups will be announced on June 2.
Further information can be gained and forms can be downloaded by visiting www.direct.gov.uk/thequeensawardforvoluntaryservice or by calling 020 7781 2397.
Lord Shuttleworth said: "Voluntary groups throughout Lancashire continue to play a pivotal role in the community, and many people's lives.
"Recognition of their influence is vital.
"I hope Lancastrians will express their gratitude to these groups by nominating as many as possible for The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, the MBE for volunteer groups and highest honour in the voluntary sector.
"Lancashire's volunteers carry out tremendous work across a number of areas such as youth projects, BME and rural community based initiatives.
"These are the types of groups for which we would like to encourage more nominations.
"We have dozens of groups who could be nominated so please visit the website or call 020 7781 2397 to find out more and do nominate."
Groups from different backgrounds providing extremely diverse activities have all felt the Award's benefits, which include - attracting more volunteers, increased awareness of the group to potential funders and of course helping to raise morale amongst existing volunteers.
