Did you know Spark Burntwood has received the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service?
This is the highest honour a voluntary group can achieve in the UK — the equivalent of an MBE. Spark was also recognised with a special award for our work supporting the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
These awards are a reflection of the passion, dedication, and hard work of every single volunteer who’s been part of the Spark journey. If you’ve ever given your time to Spark, this recognition is yours.
