We start the new year remembering a very special ceremony that took place last summer when FVAF set out to recognise some of Forest’s unsung heroes – our volunteers.

Deb Cook, our Volunteering Manager, explains what goes into creating the awards and why we do it while Melanie gets to meet and congratulate some of our worthy winners on that night.

Special thanks go to the AccXel Centre for providing us with such a superb space.

Shine a spotlight on an incredible individual or group whose tireless efforts enhance lives, uplift communities, and create meaningful change. Do so today by nominating them for a Gloucestershire Volunteer award!

Nominations close on 28th February 2025
