Legacy WM Celebrates Winning The King's Voluntary Award | Legacy West Midlands

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

Testimonials

Freedom50 charity bike ride in Bangladesh was one the greatest moments of my life, which I will cherish for as long I live.

Nasir, Freedom50 Cyclist
I’m delighted to be joining Legacy WM board of trustees both to support the development of a brilliant grass roots organisation in our city, and to connect The Rep with more local communities and learn how we can better serve them through our work as a major city institution.

Rachael Thomas, Executive Director at Birmingham Rep and Trustee Member
Clover HR are genuinely pleased to be able to support the work done by Legacy WM. We have been involved with Aftab and his Team for several years and know their tireless efforts directly and positively affect peoples lives everyday.

Michael Doolin, Chief Executive Officer for Clover HR
Riding with the Freedom50 group is amazing, its great company, mostly enjoyable (when it’s not too hilly, but hey, that’s where the best memories are made and where you get the best laughs!). It’s a brilliant way to stay fit, and coupled with charity rides, a great way to raise money for a needy cause.

Kois, Freedom50 Cyclist
During my time as a community champion I have participated in the Mason mile as well as holiday play schemes. I also had the honour of partaking in the Freedom50 exhibition, which opened my eyes to the true beauty of my culture. It has not only boosted my confidence, but it has also allowed me to feel more connected to the community around me.

Zara, Community Champion
