26/06/08 - Berwickshire Wheels awarded Queens Award for Voluntary Service

Berwickshire Wheels is one of 79 volunteering groups throughout the UK to receive this prestigious National Honour, which is equivalent to the MBE, and sets the national benchmark for excellence in volunteering.

The group is funded by Berwickshire Association for Voluntary Service, the Scottish Government and the Order of St John, to provide accessible transport for residents in Berwickshire and to improve the transport within the area to enable people with disabilities and mobility problems to adopt a more independent lifestyle.

Berwickshire Wheels will be presented with an exclusive crystal trophy at a special local ceremony at a later date.
