Captain Len Keeling has been shortlisted by the BBC Hereford & Worcester local radio as a finalist in the Volunteer Category of the BBC Make a Difference Awards 2024. The BBC launched the Awards at the beginning of the Covid pandemic in March 2020 to celebrate local heroes, shining a light on people who go above and beyond in their local communities. The Volunteer Award is made to an individual who makes a notable difference to their community by giving their time voluntarily to help others.
Capt Keeling responded that “It is very rewarding to know that people appreciate the efforts made by my team and I for the military ‘send off’ given to ex members and old comrades of our Regiment.” The winners for 2024 will be selected by a panel of judges in September, so congratulations to Len for making the shortlist and the best of luck next month!
