This award celebrates and promotes the tireless work of those who help others in their communities. This is the highest-level accolade for volunteer groups and is the equivalent of an MBE.
The award honours work that is recognised as bringing clear benefits to the community across a range of areas, such as culture, heritage, wellbeing, and social support. Organisations presented with the award will receive a certificate and trophy to proudly display.
In previous years, the Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire has been personally thrilled to see so many organisations from Shropshire being rewarded for their selfless dedication and is pleased to see that 2024 is no different.
The Lieutenancy of Shropshire is thrilled to announce that the recipients of the KAVS 2024 are:
- Shrewsbury & Oswestry Crucial Crew

- Shrewsbury Up & Comers FC
- Cruckton & District Ploughing and Hedging Society

Many congratulations to you all for being recognised with this top-level award.
