Battersea scoops Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service
The volunteers from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home regularly visit retired servicemen and women at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
 
A group of volunteers from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home is set to receive the prestigious Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest honour a voluntary group can receive in the UK.

Since 2011, the group has been visiting retired servicemen and women at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Together with Battersea dogs, the volunteers visit the pensioners in the infirmary or go into their room to keep them company.

Charlotte Fielder, Battersea’s head of volunteering, fostering & communities said: “Battersea is absolutely thrilled that the work of this amazing and dedicated group of volunteers has been recognised with a Queens Award for Voluntary Service.

“We couldn’t be more proud of our caring, kind and compassionate volunteers who regularly take Battersea dogs to visit the Chelsea Pensioners, offering both human and canine companionship. It’s heart-warming to witness the joy these visits can bring”.
