We Are Honoured with The King’s Award for Voluntary Service
Receiving the Award
The Friends of Oystermouth Castle, are ecstatic after securing 'The Kings Award for Voluntary Service' (KAVS). Previously known as The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, this award was established in 2002 to mark Her Late Majesty The Queen’s Golden Jubilee and was continued following the accession of His Majesty The King. It is the equivalent of an MBE for a volunteer group.
KAVS Chair, Sir Martyn Lewis CBE said: “The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is the top award for groups of volunteers who beaver away at a grassroots level to transform vital aspects of life in their local community.
Chair of the Friends, Paul Lewis, expressed pride and gratitude: “Receiving the King’s Award for Voluntary Service is a marvellous recognition of our team’s dedication. It’s a tribute to every volunteer’s commitment, team effort, support, hard work and our shared passion for preserving Oystermouth Castle’s unique heritage for future generations.”
