Fantastic achievement π keep up the good work π
π | Berwick Rangers Juniors awarded the Kingβs Award for Voluntary Service.
Berwick Rangers Juniors are both proud and delighted to announce that they have been awarded the Kingβs Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS).
The KAVS is the highest award given to local volunteer groups - the equivalent of an MBE - and recognises outstanding work done in local communities for the benefit of others.
Berwick Rangers Juniors have been providing fun, inclusive competitive football coaching and training for four decades in and around Berwick. Indeed, the parents of many current junior players were also members of βthe Juniorsβ in their youth.
The KAVS is only awarded to the very best of hundreds of nominated groups each year. It is a badge of excellence and a ringing endorsement of Berwick Rangers Juniorsβ committee, coaches and dedicated volunteers that provide healthy, safe and fun sporting activities for youngsters of all abilities.
Commenting on the award Berwick Rangers Juniors chairman Steven Ingram said: βthe committee and I are absolutely delighted to have been awarded the Kingβs Award for Voluntary Service, but this is an award for every member of our entire group, from the volunteers painting pitch lines on a cold winterβs day, to the parents ferrying young players to-and-from matches and all our hard-working volunteers, going above-and-beyond to provide safe, stimulating football for our junior players. Our thanks also go out to everyone in the local and wider community who have supported the juniors over the decades which has helped us become the club we are today.
βAnd itβs something all our young participants should also be very proud ofβ.
The award will be officially presented by the Lord-Lieutenant of Northumberland , the Duchess of Northumberland at a later date .
