We’re delighted to announce that Edinburgh School Uniform Bank has received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service – the equivalent of an MBE for an organisation.
This award celebrates the outstanding service of our volunteers who have been going the extra mile to support local families since 2015.
Margaret Civval, Chair of Edinburgh School Uniform Bank, said: “We are honoured that the commitment and dedication of our volunteers is recognised in this prestigious award.
“The service simply could not run without many volunteer hours on a weekly basis to enhance the lives of local families.”
We’re thrilled to share that the amazing volunteers from Spartans Community Foundation have been awarded The King’s Award for Voluntary Service for 2024! This is the UK’s top honour for local volunteer groups – the equivalent of an MBE.
Spartans Community Foundation is one of 281 local charities, social enterprises, and volunteer groups to receive this award this year. The King’s Award for Voluntary Service was set up in 2002 to mark the late Queen’s Golden Jubilee and continues now in King Charles’ reign, recognising volunteer groups doing incredible work to support their communities.
Next summer, Spartans Community Foundation representatives will accept the award from the Lord-Lieutenant of Edinburgh, and two of our volunteers will also be invited to a garden party at Holyroodhouse.
Debbi McCulloch, CEO of Spartans Community Foundation, shared: “We’re absolutely thrilled and honoured that our volunteers have received The King’s Award for Voluntary Service.
“This award is a tribute to their dedication, passion and hard work that makes a positive difference in our community every day.
“We couldn’t be prouder of this achievement and can’t wait to keep building a better future together.”
