The award is equivalent to an MBE and is managed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Any volunteer group that provides a social, economic or environmental service to the local community can be nominated for the award. Each group is assessed on the leadership and drive shown by the volunteers, the benefit it brings to the local community and its standing within that community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Wye Development Trust at\u00a0The Kindle Centre\u00a0is very excited and honoured to receive The King\u2019s Award for Voluntary Service.
