We are thrilled to announce that Caring and Sharing, Rochdale (CAS Rochdale) has been honored with the prestigious King’s Award for Voluntary Service—the highest accolade a voluntary organization can receive in the UK!

Through their tireless efforts, we continue to make a difference, and this recognition is proof that every volunteer’s contribution matters profoundly.

Breaking Barriers and Building Impact

The King’s Award is not just about prestige; it is a reflection of the lasting impact volunteers have on communities. At CAS Rochdale, our volunteers have helped build bridges of hope, support, and resilience. They’ve brought smiles to faces, lifted spirits, and empowered individuals to rise above challenges. As noted by Mama Health and Poverty Partnership:
“This award is the highest award any voluntary group can get. Well done, Nicky T. Olawoye Iginla, and your amazing team! A well-deserved award!“

This acknowledgment affirms that we are leaping beyond borders, touching lives, and inspiring a legacy of service.
