DSA wins King’s Award for Voluntary Service
The Disabled Sailing Association, based in Torquay, has been awarded the prestigious King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS). This is the highest award a local voluntary group can receive in the UK and is equivalent to an MBE.
The DSA was created in 2002, the year of Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee, to provide safe and affordable sailing opportunities to disabled adults and children, their families and carers. King Charles III has emphasised his desire to continue the award, which aims to recognise outstanding work by local volunteer groups
