Voluntary Work: Prizes
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether she plans to replace the Points of Light Award.
- Answer
-
The Government wants to recognise the outstanding contribution of volunteers and encourage all to be involved in delivering positive change. The Points of Light programme closed in 2024. While
individual volunteers are recognised through the Honours system, and groups can be recognised through the King’s Award for Voluntary Service, there is consideration to replace the Points of Light
programme with a similar scheme.
