To mark Volunteers’ Week, we are excited to announce the return of the Monmouthshire Volunteer Awards (MVA), delivered in partnership with GAVO, shining a spotlight on the incredible individuals and groups who make a difference across our communities.

If an inspiring person or project comes to mind when you read the categories, whether it’s a neighbour who quietly goes above and beyond, a volunteer who gives their time selflessly, or a group making a lasting impact, every nomination helps shine a light on the difference they make.
No act of volunteering is too small, every contribution matters!
