Eligible groups selected for the award will be announced in November 2026.
Government House is encouraging residents of the Isle of Man to consider nominating local voluntary organisations whose work has had a meaningful impact.
His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor said: “The Isle of Man is fortunate to have a vibrant voluntary sector which makes a real difference to people’s lives.
“The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is a wonderful way to celebrate and honour the contribution of local groups. I encourage anyone who knows of a deserving organisation to consider putting them forward for this prestigious recognition.”
