This award was introduced in 2002 to mark the occasion of the Queen's Golden Jubilee, and recognises the vital role played by the hundreds of thousands of voluntary groups in the community. It is the equivalent of an MBE for its members. More here
Welcome to the Isle of Wight
Welcome pack for migrant workers and people from diverse communities. The booklet has been designed to signpost people to appropriate services and as such it would be great to distribute it as widely as possible to those people. The information was as up to date as we could make it at the time it was printed but people should be advised to contact the relevant agencies directly.
