On Thursday 22nd July, the Historical Research Group of Sittingbourne (HRGS) / Heritage Hub were presented with their Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS) by Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Kent, The Lady Colgrain.
The award for ‘Promoting local history through research, exhibitions, events and publications’ had originally been bestowed on them in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List on the 2nd June 2020, however, the presentation ceremony had been delayed due to the national covid situation.
The ceremony was held in the atrium of the Forum Shopping Centre in Sittingbourne, in the presence of many HRGS members and Heritage Hub volunteers.
