Rhyl South West Cen-tral Residents' Associat-ion has received the award for its work operating a voluntary community centre which was created in a disused café at Rhyl's Botanical Gardens five years ago.
Besides the community café which is run by the volunteers seven days a week, other activities include computer classes, craft courses, parent & toddlers, an Alzheimer's club, recycled teenagers, disabled teenagers and various other community groups.
Rhyl South West Cen-tral Residents' Associat-ion will be presented with a crystal trophy marking their success at a special lceremony being given by the Queen's Lord-Lieutenant for Clwyd.
Speaking of their success, George Owen, president of the association, said: "We are all thrilled to have received this prestigious honour which is a tremendous tribute to the dedicated work of our association."
Phil Hope, Minister for the Third Sector, said, "The work of Rhyl South West Central Residents' Association demonstrates the positive impact that volunteers have on communities, work they undertake without seeking any kind of accolade. That is why I'm particularly pleased their efforts are recognised by the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service."
