The team is immensely proud to announce that we have received this prestigious award from His Majesty, The King. The KAVS Award is the equivalent of receiving an MBE and is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK.
WightSAR was set up in 2011 and now has grown to a team of 32 professional volunteers. The service is funded entirely by voluntary donations and grant awards.
WightSAR’s founder and chairman Dean Terrett, BEM said: “This has been achieved through the dedication of WightSAR’s volunteers, this award marks a milestone in excellence and recognition for the team’s work. As you can imagine, the team are elated to receive such recognition”.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank the Isle of Wight community for their continued support and hope you will celebrate with us by sharing our post using the following hashtag #KAVS2024
