Park Lane Stables volunteers recognised with a life-time Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service

In the week of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee celebrations it’s been announced that the team of volunteers behind Park Lane Stables in Teddington has been recognised with a Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS).

This annual award was created in 2002 to celebrate the anniversary of The Queen’s coronation and is awarded for life.  The Park Lane Stables team will be presented with the award by the Lord Lieutenant of London at a future event, and will receive a glass crystal and a certificate signed by the Queen. 

“In this whirlwind year for us so much of the attention has fallen on me, but Park Lane Stables wouldn’t be the special place it is today without the invisible army of volunteers who stand by my side and make everything happen.

From the hands-on volunteers who manage the day-to-day operations at the Stables, to the experts and trustees behind the scenes who have helped us rise to the challenges we’ve faced.

I couldn’t be more delighted that this special group of individuals and friends are now recognised for everything they do.”

– Natalie O’Rourke MBE, Proprietor of Park Lane Stables
