Dear All
I thought that you might like to know about the below which my organisation is running in association with Clarence House. If you have any really deserving volunteers helping with your collections please do nominate them.
Do you know a
Diamond Champion?
This year we're celebrating Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee by launching Diamond Champions, a search to find people over 60 who volunteer and give their time to help others in their community. We're delighted to announce that Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall have agreed to be joint patrons of our hunt for Diamond Champions in recognition of the important and valuable role played by older people throughout the UK.
What's a Diamond Champion?
Throughout the United Kingdom we're lucky to have diamond volunteers all around us. Diamond Champion nominees must be over 60 and the aim is to find volunteers who make an extraordinary difference to their community by giving up their own time to help others. They don't have to be part of WRVS they can be volunteering for any other organisation or volunteering more informally.
A regional celebration awaits the shortlisted volunteers who will be presented with a specially designed Diamond Champions badge and certificate. Eighty of the UK's most glittering nominees will receive a personal invitation to the ultimate Diamond Champion event at a royal residence where they will meet Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.
