Gloucestershire Volunteer Awards

The annual Gloucestershire Volunteer Awards were established in 2024 to celebrate and raise awareness of the work of volunteers across the county. We provide them through Go Volunteer Glos, our volunteer recruitment platform.

About the Gloucestershire Volunteer Awards 2026

On Friday 5 June 2026, we celebrated this year’s winners at our ceremony at the Hatherley Manor Hotel and Spa.

We were thrilled to feature on BBC Points West and BBC Radio Gloucestershire as part of their Make a Difference Day coverage.
