Camilla further remarked that the awardees will be selected by members of the public. She said, “I hope many of you will share your stories of these local heroes and nominate them for a Platinum Champion Award. I believe it is these volunteers, enhancing the lives of others, that are the backbone of this country”. “I look forward to seeing our Platinum Champions, and all volunteers, celebrated at The Big Jubilee Lunch this summer.”
According to several British media houses, the awards will be planned by the Royal Voluntary Service and take place on the 5th of June this year as one of the events during the Jubilee celebrations. Both Camilla and the Queen are already expected to be heavily involved in the event as Camilla serves as the President of the organization while the Queen acts as the patron of the organization.
Duchess Camilla Parker Bowles’ proposed award initiative is always receiving widespread acceptance in the United Kingdom. According to reports, most celebrities and television hosts are already voicing out their support for the Duchess’ initiative.
Moreover, speaking on behalf of the Royal Voluntary Service, Catherine Johnstone, her Chief Executive had remarked that the awards are a way that the organization will applaud volunteers who are generous in the country. Since its establishment in 1938, the Royal Voluntary Service continued to provide aid to the NHS and several people in need all over the UK.
