Nursery World - The Link Foundation scoops award for 'impactful' support during Covid

A children’s charity committed to improving the lives of children and their families in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, has been honoured with a Queens Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS) for its work alleviating hardship during the pandemic.

The Link Foundation will be celebrating its fifteenth anniversary later this year.

The Link Foundation has received the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK.

The charity was specially selected for the QAVS to receive a special Covid-19 designation in recognition of the impactful support it provided to the local community and the truly outstanding response of the Link Foundation volunteers throughout the pandemic.

The charity is dedicated to providing the basics that it believes all children should take for granted, such as funding for beds, clothes, food and white goods.

It is run entirely by volunteers which means that more than 95 per cent of raised capital – and 98 per cent in 2020 – goes straight to helping disadvantaged children in need through its healthcare, social services and school partner networks.
