The Kings Award for Voluntary Service 2025 – Nominees Reception.

Last week Suzanne and I attended a reception at Loseley Park to recognise the nominees of the Kings Award for Voluntary Service 2025. This annual event was hosted by the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey – Michael More Molyneux, who was also joined by the Vice Lieutenant – Mary Cresswell, the Chairman of Surrey County Council and local Mayors. 

This year the 16 nominees are – Artventure, Banstead village in Bloom, Camberley Care Trust, Camberley Nepalese Gurkha Association, Cranleigh Arts Centre, Epsom Repair Café, Ewhurst Secret Gardens,  Friends of Albury Old Saxon Church, Hale Community and Youth Centre, Phoenix Cultural Centre, Space2Grow, Spelthorne Dementia Support Group, Surplus to Supper, the National Honey Show, Voluntary Support North Surrey and Sutton Vision.

It was a great honour to meet and chat to so many Surrey people who give up their time for the good of the community and join the Lord Lieutenant in congratulating and thanking them for their commitment.
