The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service aims to recognise outstanding work by volunteer groups to benefit their local communities.
Phionna McInnes, We Too! chief executive, said: “All our volunteers, known in We Too! as “ninjas”, are absolutely delighted to be recognised with this award.
“Perhaps more so than ever given the increased tasks they have all willingly stepped up to during Covid-19.
“Like many in the third-sector we cannot operate without the value, time and experience they freely give us, and I am incredibly grateful for their time and support”
We Too! is one of 230 charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups to receive the prestigious award this year.
