We are delighted and extremely proud to announce that Sunbury Ferry has been awarded the highest UK honour for a voluntary group,
The King’s Award for Voluntary Service.
This award, the group equivalent of an MBE, recognises the hard work and dedication of all our volunteers, from the initial and complex setting up of the service during the pandemic, to an efficient and friendly service that has so far carried over 40,000 passengers across the Thames.
Our thanks to all our fellow volunteers, as well as to the local community, businesses, organisations, groups and individuals who believed in the project, supporting us from the beginning and continuing to do so.
