Acts Of Kindness Community (Solent)

We are thrilled to announce that AOK is to receive the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. It is the highest honour in the UK for a charity. Here's Kerry, Alyson and Gabe to tell you more.. youtube.com/watch?v=kbZCLa… ; #QAVS2021 #QueensVoluntaryAward2021

Scott recently dropped off our donations of £1,000 worth of household appliances to @AOKCommunity had a tour of their operations and met all of their volunteers. To find out more about the charity and how you can help click here >>> aok.community

Our staff have been busy putting together gift bags and food supplies to be donated to local charities over the Christmas period. Here's some of the team dropping off their donations! 🎄 We will be donating our collections to @AOKCommunity and @iowfoodbank.

🎅🏻👏⭐️Thank you so much to @GWRHelp Fratton/Salisbury train crew, and the community at Hedge End for all the lovely toys, presents and gifts. These will be winging their way to @AOKCommunity, The Salvation Army Southampton and @threeriversrail (Swaythling food bank). 🎅🏻🎅🏻👏⭐️

Thank you for your service Ma’am. You were an extraordinary woman. A woman of kindness & humility. We will all feel this deep sense of loss in our communities. As an organisation we will hold our QVAS award with a huge sense of pride God Speed Your Majesty. #HRH #QueenElizabeth

Our thoughts are with the Queen and her family. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

So very honoured to receive the @QueensAwardVS from the Hampshire Lord Lieutenant. Our volunteers work so very hard and deserve this recognition. We were one of only two charities in Hampshire that also received the Special recognition pin badge from Her Majesty the Queen.

What an absolute honour and privilege to be a part of the @birminghamcg22 #QueensBatonRelay for the @thecgf 2022 in #Portsmouth. #Commonwealthgames2022 Here’s a few from the day! First pic courtesy of @portsmouthnews Habibur Rahman.

This is so lovely @Peter_Henley - great to see the wonderful @GirlInTheBoat who has changed lives via the @AOKCommunity x

I'm so proud we got the first ever debate on childhood cancer in the House of Commons yesterday. I'm deeply disappointed by the response from @mariacaulfield who said so much that was factually incorrect but also said Alice was doing well when she had died. 1/2

All of these items donated by you are making their way to Ukraine this week! We’ve finished our collection for the time being but will continue to support in other ways! #HelpUkraine #WeStandWithUkraine x

@AOKCommunity I know there are specific things they're asking for in Southampton, are these the same things you're prioritising eg blankets, sanitary products, nappies, wipes etc?

@AOKCommunity hi are you doing any collection of items for Ukraine refugees? Trying to find drop.off closest to us
