VOLUNTEERS who have served their communities for as long as the Queen are being urged to come forward for a special award.

As part of National Volunteers Week in June, Voluntary Action North Somerset (VANS) is hosting a thank you cream tea and handing out long service certificates to volunteering stalwarts.

Those who have worked for more than 30 years, and not necessarily for the

same group, will qualify and the organisation will select the twenty longest-serving volunteers for the prize.

Everyone with more than thirty years service will be entered into a free raffle for a chance to win some prizes.

Anyone who wants to nominate someone can contact VANS by emailing donna.cleeve@vansmail.org.uk or calling Donna or Debby on 01934 410190.
