In honour of Their Majesties’ service to the country, Royal Voluntary Service is launching the Coronation Champions Awards for volunteers, an official Coronation project.

Together with Her Majesty The Queen Consort, the awards will celebrate extraordinary volunteers across the country who have been contributing to their communities.

The Coronation Champions Awards will recognise a diverse group of volunteers from different backgrounds and communities across the UK from a range of causes. Help us to celebrate the amazing contributions volunteers have made by nominating a volunteer for a Coronation Champions Award.

We are calling for you to nominate volunteers over the age of 14 who may have overcome adversity or discovered creative ways to support their local communities within the last five years in one of the following categories:

• Supporting older people
• Supporting young people and children
• Crisis and welfare
• Community
• Sports, culture and heritage
• Health and care
• Sustainability and the environment
• Animal welfare

Nominations close at 23:59 on Sunday 2 April, 2023.

If you have an amazing volunteer story to share, or know an inspirational volunteer that you'll be nominating, please let us know so we can highlight them to Hull and East Riding's Lord Lieutenant.
