Some 262 charities and voluntary organisations – including several supporting disadvantaged children and young people across the UK – have been awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Service for their outstanding work.
The awards take place annually and 2023 marked the first year they are in the name of King Charles III. Members from recognised organisations will be invited to a garden party at Buckingham Palace in the summer.
