Home-Start Telford & Wrekin receives the King’s Award for Voluntary Service
A Telford charity whose volunteers support the families of children under five has been awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service – the equivalent of an MBE.
Home-Start Telford & Wrekin is one of only 262 local charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups in the country to receive the prestigious award in 2023. It is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive.
Chairman of the charity’s trustees, Catherine Landau, said the award was a huge accolade for the work of the charity’s 35 volunteers.
“Without our amazing team of volunteers there would be no Home-Start Telford & Wrekin. The passion and dedication they bring to their role is awe inspiring. Every day we see them going the extra mile to help nurture and support individual families and groups. This award is very much deserved by our volunteers and a fitting tribute to the amazing work that they do,” she said.
