Angel Radio was the 2nd community radio station in the UK to be awarded a broadcast licence by Ofcom. The station, which is run by 80 volunteers, most aged over 60 with several in their mid-80s, provides nostalgic entertainment, information and stimulation for older people in the Borough of Havant and surrounding area.
Angel Radio was the brainchild of nostalgia enthusiast Tony Smith who launched the station in February 1999 on a special 6-day licence. Audience feedback and media interest proved it could be a valuable asset to the older community, and the station has developed a unique brand of reminiscence therapy permeating all aspects of the programming, which now runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Older people, who listen to Angel Radio, not only hear the latest information about health & wellbeing, things to do and places to go, they also hear all the old shellac 78 rpm records of their youth from the station's library of 120,000 vintage records. They hear other older people's reminiscences and are helped to recall their own happy memories. Angel's regular quiz shows keep listener's minds active while old time dances promote exercise.

BAPS Children's Forum was established fifteen years ago and now has a team of one hundred and twenty five dedicated volunteers serving the organisation on a regular basis. The Forum started with just 200 children a few years ago and numbers have now increased significantly to over 500.
It provides a meeting place for the community in Brent through cultural, educational and social activities, ensuring that the younger generation retains their cultural identity and roots. The forum is run entirely by volunteers, who on average spend over three hundred hours every year for the Forum. The majority are young graduates or teenagers in their chosen field of expertise and bring with them newly learnt skills from their 'day' jobs.
The group has developed strong links with local organisations – such as Sure Start, Brent Council, GLA's Child Policy Unit. The Brent ‘Respect’ Festival organised by Brent Council at Roundwood Park saw BAPS Children's Forum working 'alongside the local community' and scoop the world record for the Largest Finger Painting.
BAPS Children's Forum also operates a free Sunday school teaching Gujarati language and moral education classes. The school has been thriving for the past fourteen years with four hundred children benefiting from these classes every week.
Basketball Paisley is a large community-based organisation contributing in excess of 7,000 hours of community service per year, successfully operating at local, regional and national level.

Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project Ltd provides a safe, friendly, well resourced and well established venue that meets the changing needs and desires of young people with different ages and abilities.
Its peer support programme, young and adult volunteers are a major part of the service and the future. Open daily from 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday with occasional weekend provision. Between 150-300 children and young people attend each week, many of whom have special needs.
Successful funding has given the group the opportunity to offer everyone connected a range of training that includes: Foundation studies/informal education, Level 3 Youth Work, Level 2 & 3 Play work, University related courses, Safeguarding Children with Disabilities, Health and Safety, CAF, Sport Leadership, Food Hygiene, First Aid, Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Expedition Leadership, Midas, Kayaking, Safeguarding Children and Music Engineering/Production.
Peer supporting has proved successful especially with our 3 special needs groups, showing a natural progression route for young peer supporters who are part of a long term strategy in a voluntary capacity. Thousands of voluntary hours are recorded each year and a large percentage is young people under the age of 18. From this, trainee/apprentice roles are well established in the project and proving to be useful in all 14 sessions that operate weekly.
A number trusts continue to support the group and it has worked very hard to sell its service so all the changes are sustainable. Social Service, Youth Offending Team and Cramlington Community High School refer young people tothe group. Offering its facilities and service to various organisations and groups has proved fruitful. The programmes that it facilitates have excellent attendance and the results are outstanding. Duke of Edinburgh's Award, John Muir Award, and Youth Achievements have all been popular.

Victoria is a large special school in south Birmingham where the children have a wide range of severe and complex disabilities. The Friends of Victoria was first established over 25 years ago to offer support to the school, the pupils and their families and carers.
The group of committed parents, staff and friends are responsible for organising and harnessing the kindness and support of a range of people within the community to offer their skills, time and resources to benefit the children, young people and their families.
The range of help and support offered by Friends of Victoria is impressive and diverse. Some come into the school on a regular basis to help and support classes and pupils while others come into school to garden, make resources and help decorate and refurbish rooms. There are also volunteers who regularly support events such as Christmas and summer fairs. One adventurous group of “Friends” have completed sponsored extreme events including running across the Sahara Dessert, completing the Everest Base Camps Marathon and climbing the Eiger and the Matterhorn.
In the past ten years, fund-raising organised through the Friends of Victoria has raised over a quarter of a million pounds. This has benefited children and young people by providing specialist support for their disability, developing facilities and buildings within the school and enabling them to access a range of fantastic experiences from trips to local amenities to visits abroad such as the Special Olympics in Athens and Disneyland Paris.

Growing Space is a registered mental health charity founded in 1992, providing real work skills and a support network to help adults with mental ill health to reach goals and improve their quality of life.
Based in Newport, South Wales within the grounds of Tredegar House and Park and at their workshops at Coomassie Street, Pillgwenlly, training is provided in horticulture, woodwork, ITC, craft and a work-based learning programme leading to accreditation. Growing Space has also become one of Newport's new network of RISE learning centres, providing training to those traditionally difficult to engage in mainstream training.
Many members have left fully recovered with accredited qualifications which in many instances will be the first qualification they will have obtained. They have gone on to individual successes, including further education, obtaining a new job or finding a job for the first time. In addition, former families’ poor relationships have been repaired and new friendships formed.
Growing Space also provides a mobile garden clearance service throughout Newport for elderly and disabled council tenants, and cleared a total of 212 gardens last year.
Growing Space tackles the problems of social exclusion often experienced by people with mental health problems and encourages them to see themselves in a positive and constructive light and to maximise their unlimited potential. The group concentrates upon each individual's ability and not inability and has seen many examples of how self-esteem and self-worth is built among people who have been involved with the project.

Volunteering is at the core of the work of the Hospice founded in 1982 by Isabel Last, herself a volunteer unfortunately suffering from cancer.
Over the past 27 years, the number of volunteers at Isabel Hospice has grown steadily with over 700 now dedicating their time and commitment to the care of patients suffering from life-limiting illnesses. Within our main in-patient unit, volunteers get involved with admin tasks such as helping on reception to very personal issues such as caring for patients as well as their families.
In day centres, volunteers drive patients from all over the region to receive care and support from the team of staff and volunteer helpers, including volunteer therapists. Others help to maintain the gardens and generally help ensure the environment is as pleasant as it can be.
In addition, volunteers visit patients at home and offer one-to one and/or group support to the recently bereaved. They also help at Carers’ Days organised by our Family Support team and work in the Hospices’ shops helping to raise much-needed funds. Our fundraising department relies heavily on the input of volunteers to help arrange events, processing donations, assisting local fundraising groups and more.
Volunteers and paid staff alike, the Hospice works hard to recognise that the patient is a person first and foremost, and is more important than the illness from which they are suffering. Our volunteers, through their commitment and compassion, help us to give the patients the dignity and respect to which everyone is entitled at the end of life.
Winning the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service is a marvellous tribute to the Hospices army of volunteers without whom it could not operate.

Mothertongue has been offering a free, culturally sensitive counselling service for people from black and minority ethnic communities, who find it difficult to access statutory services since September 2000.
The counselling is delivered by professionally qualified counsellors and a team of trained volunteers providing practical support to the groups counselling clients. The service is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Both the counselling and the volunteer teams are representative of the communities, which they serve.
Mothertongue has an active team of 20 volunteers - able to communicate in 10 to 15 different languages - and trains approximately 20 more each year. Many of the resulting skilled volunteers go on to access paid employment as a result of the experience gained with the group.
The local Citizens’ Advice Bureau runs a weekly satellite from the group's offices with Mothertongue volunteers providing language support. Other volunteers accompany clients to medical and social care appointments. For many clients, it is the first time that they have fully understood what a professional has been saying to them, and vice versa.
Beverley Costa (Group Leader) said:
"We are all thrilled with winning this award. It is a wonderful recognition of the work we do for our clients. Many have told us that they 'feel understood from the heart at Mothertongue'. Thanks to our services, they have an opportunity to contribute and therefore develop a greater sense of belonging and of being valued by the wider community”.

In 2009 the League of Jewish Women, North-West Region celebrated its 65th anniversary. It was founded as a voluntary organisation as a branch of the National League of Jewish Women, (as well as the I.C.J.W - International Council of Jewish Women) dedicated to voluntary service within the greater Manchester area in both the Jewish and wider community. Its guiding principle has been to stimulate in each Jewish woman her personal sense of civic duty and to encourage her to express it by increased service to all communities.
The North-West Region, with over 500 members, is divided into smaller groups according to geographical area, each providing volunteers who undertake regular rotas. It has been estimated that each month the North-West Region League rotas add up to over 2,000 hours of dedicated voluntary service.
The League supplies volunteers to many organisations, both Jewish and non-Jewish. These include local hospitals, hospices, care-homes, schools, prisons, libraries, luncheon-clubs and charity shops, as well as being part of The Jewish Emergency Team. The League also has, under its North-West umbrella, a bereavement and loss counselling service run by trained volunteers.
A chairman of a local hospital in which the League does voluntary work said:
“Your women perform wonders. Individually these are little things, but cumulatively they are massive and make a huge difference to people's lives.”

In 1998, leaders from Northumberland Scouts established a project to support Scouting in Uganda. At that time, Scouting in Uganda had re-established itself and had a higher profile than in the UK.
Ugandan groups worked on oral re-hydration schemes, farm and fishing projects, Aids teaching, teaching in schools and many other areas. However, training facilities were essential so Northumberland Venture Scouts raised the £110,000 and the manpower needed before travelling to Kaazi in 1991 to help. From there, a “twinning” arrangement was born.
In the years following Northumberland Scouts raised money for Ugandan Scouts to provide livestock, education packs for schools to develop “gardening” training and in 2000, a group travelled to Mityana where, working with Red Cross and the police, it built an adventure playground at a school.
In 2008, a group of over 40 Explorer Scouts, Scout Network members together with leaders refurbished the training headquarters at Kaazi. Furthermore, chicken coops to house over 1,000 chickens were built for a deaf school at Kavule allowing them to generate income and support more children.
The groups are encouraged to trade skills or products as a way of getting around financial need. This may come in the form of shipping, equipment or building material. Quality of materials in Uganda is often poor therefore they try to source materials often at extra costs, and thus requiring more fundraising, from outside Uganda.
They have always worked with those “on the ground” in Uganda to identify what is required and from the outset have always delivered what is promised. Time has been taken to build relationships with local community leaders and with the Ugandan Scout association.

Lytham, Lancashire, has traditionally been a retirement town with a lack of provision for families and young people. The Lytham community group Park View 4 U was formed in 2003 with the aim of transforming Park View Playing Fields; a waterlogged field with outdated play equipment. Its initial aim was to provide a few swings and slides for the children of the town. However, in just six years the project has developed into a first class facility which is now having a positive impact on the whole community.
Park View 4 U successfully fundraised nearly £1 million and delivered the refurbishment of the park creating amenities for all ages by providing the first ‘3G’ park in the country; with facilities designed for three generations of users, helping people of all ages and abilities to lead more active lives as well as promoting intergenerational relationships.
The group has been particularly successful at finding imaginative ways of engaging with the wider community and keeping the project in the public eye. The park has also been credited with reducing anti-social behaviour and youth nuisance in the town as young people are now actively engaged in positive activities.
Park View 4 U, made up entirely of volunteers is now looking to extend the project to include all year round indoor facilities on the park.

Second Nature Life Support was formed in 2003 and initially set out to convert a derelict former sewage treatment works in to a community park. A major environmental project was undertaken to clear toxic waste and decades of rubbish, planting sensory gardens with full wheelchair access. Renamed “Winthrop Park”, the gardens opened to the public in July 2005 as a haven of peace to assist in recuperation, recovery, rehabilitation, and relaxation. Initially expecting to help 150 to 300 people a year the group found the demand for its support and services grew beyond expectation - in 2008 alone the group supported over 6,500 people. Access to Winthrop Park is free of charge.
Second Nature Life Support now has over 60 regular volunteers that help run the Park day to day, working alongside the only full time Employee, Trustees, and management committee. It recently opened the new Chataway's Tea Room and sales area for craft work and plant sales. Its environmental work, wellbeing improvements and community integration has resulted in life changing effects for both users and volunteers as the power of Nature Therapy is brought to benefit many people.
The group offers outreach support to tackle stress in the workplace and create healthier lifestyle group activities by organising countryside walks and interaction with nature to help the mind, body, and soul. It does not receive any public funding and isn't affiliated with any other organisation and so relies on its own fund raising activities and donations to meet all costs. In 2008 the group won the Nationwide UK Community Project of the Year.

The first Shrewsbury Children's Bookfest took place in May 1999. It was at the time the only exclusively children's literary festival in the country. Since then, Bookfest has grown considerably and has now obtained charitable status.
In addition to the main festival that takes place over the May Bank Holiday, the group now also organises an ‘Authors in Schools Week’ each March and a Mini-Bookfest in November. Its overall aim, however, remains unchanged - to inspire, enthuse and entertain children through literature and the arts.
Over the last ten years Bookfest has brought many of the country's best-loved authors and illustrators to Shrewsbury. This year, for example, it welcomed back its President and long-standing supporter, former Children's Laureate Dame Jacqueline Wilson, as well as two loyal patrons, Michael Morpurgo and Ian Whybrow, and several other top authors, including Jeremy Strong, Robert Muchamore and Lousie Rennison.
Sophie Peach (Chair) said:
"We have witnessed time and again the magical effect that these visits have on children. As is evident in their books, children's authors and illustrators have a wonderful and instinctive gift for understanding how children think and how to inspire their imaginations. For bookworms and reluctant readers alike, they bring the world of books alive."

The Elvington Senior Citizens group has been going for over twenty years and the aim from the beginning has been to provide friendship and social activities for the older people in this country village near York.
At present, the social programme includes a monthly hot lunch cooked by members of the committee and served in the village hall. There are also regular outings with transport provided. Throughout the last year, the group has been to the seaside, to the theatre for a pantomime, to a shopping centre, out for lunch in a restaurant and to see a flower arranging demonstration. There is also a party at Christmas and a garden party in the summer.
Living in the country has many advantages but there can be difficulties, especially with transport, and for older people this can lead to isolation and loneliness. In Elvington, the group aims to overcome this by providing opportunities for their older residents to meet together for companionship and entertainment. It also tries to visit its members in times of illness or other difficulty to provide whatever help and support it can.

The Isle of Wight Green Gym is made up of volunteers motivated to improve their health and well-being while improving their environment.
Tasks are many and varied with activities governed by the season. Summer tasks include constructing ponds, hay making, beach cleaning and assisting with access work on footpaths and making vegetable and sensory gardens in schools. While during the dormant growing seasons the group takes part in activities such as coppicing, scrub clearance, pond cleaning and hedge planting.
Now into its sixth year the group continues to make quite an impact on the Island's countryside; with fifty sessions a year and often between 30 and 40 volunteers attending each week. With such numbers, a huge amount is achieved in each of the weekly three hour periods.
Green Gym is limited to working on sites which are community, church or charity owned. The group comprises people of all ages and abilities and includes children and adults with learning difficulties and those with mental health issues who are referred to Green Gym, by local GPs.
Mr Mark Russell said:
“To be awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service is such a very great honour and a wonderful recognition of the work undertaken over the past six years. The icing on the cake, of course, was to receive the award from His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales when he visited to Island in July with Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall.”

The West Riding Woodcarvers’ Association's aim is to share its common interest in the ancient art of woodcarving irrespective of a person's skill. The club, which currently has over 70 members, enjoys and welcomes a diverse membership. It exhibits members’ work and participate in shows and demonstrations throughout West Yorkshire.
Following the first meeting 1992, the club now meets in Shepley, on the outskirts of Huddersfield.

The club provides voluntary tuition for three daytime classes at the Huddersfield University of the Third Age and also organises and provides voluntary tuition at two evening classes in Dewsbury and Elland.
The club's aim is to undertake a collective annual, or bi-annual club project that will benefit a local charity or organisation. Well known for the unique carved Panels constructed and presented to local organisations, the club's current project is the creation of Panels about the 1st and 2nd World Wars that will be presented to the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. Including more than 98 individual carved plaques, its intention is to show the horror, human suffering, courage, degradation but likewise the spirit and courage of a nation at war. After presentation to the museum, the club will take the Panels for public display in Kirklees, Calderdale and Leeds where funds will be raised for the “Forget-me Not Children's Hospice” fund.
