King's Voluntary Award

We are excited to share the incredible news that Legacy West Midlands has been honoured with the esteemed King's Voluntary Award. This recognition highlights our dedication to making a positive impact on our community through volunteer efforts.

The King's Voluntary Award is a renowned acknowledgment, celebrating organisations that demonstrate exceptional commitment and influence in the voluntary sector. This award is a testament to the relentless dedication of our volunteers, supporters, and team members who have selflessly given their time, skills, and passion to various projects and causes championed by Legacy West Midlands.

This recognition reflects the hard work and commitment of our volunteers and team, who have dedicated themselves to initiatives that bring about positive change in the lives of those we serve.

In 2010 I was one of the founding members that started Legacy WM as a volunteer and now I've made it to CEO. Over half of our staff started with us as volunteers and we are delighted to see so many new volunteers, in particular our 'Our Legacy' which is a new youth forum led by our young volunteers. Legacy continues to be led by volunteers and their dedication allows us to have a greater impact in the community. – Aftab Rahman (CEO of Legacy WM

I've been volunteering at Legacy WM and just wanted to say a huge thank you to the team here. They've all been amazing and supported my journey throughout. I've really learned a lot and there's a lot I will take with me in terms of for my future and my personal development.

Isha, Community Champion
My experience volunteering has been nothing short of inspiring - local artists, and community leaders, has encouraged me to dig deeper into the socio-political histories of Birmingham. Working alongside staff has been a grounding experience for me. I feel more capable to engage with the world critically, consciously, and optimistically.

Canaan, Arts Intern
Volunteering for Legacy WM has been an incredible experience. The respectful and friendly environment of Legacy WM allows you to flourish in what you do best. Working in marketing has not only made me more confident in my skills but awakened a new passion for it as I can use it to help people and even give back to my community. Legacy WM ensures that I and everyone else like me, are proud of our cultures and continue to be.

Ikra, Community Champion
Walks around the park are relaxing. I like taking in nature and experiencing nature, whilst having great conversations with local residents. These walks have improved my life and have enabled me to continue with my passion for movement. I am now walking most mornings as a result of my role as a walk leader for Legacy WM.
