Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service

The band is delighted to announce that it has been awarded The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE. We have been recognised for our amazing volunteers who have helped us to create our vibrant band, bringing brass music and opportunities to all within the heart of the community. (more….)
