Volunteers from a Lichfield museum have been honoured by the Queen.

Members of the team at Erasmus Darwin House will receive the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service – the equivalent of the MBE for community groups.

They will now receive a certificate signed by the monarch and a commemorative crystal.

Jennifer Arthur, chairman of the Erasmus Darwin Foundation, said:

> “Our team of volunteers perform a wide range of roles at the museum including welcoming visitors, education sessions for children, and assisting with events.  
>  
> “Without all their valuable commitment and support the museum would be unable to function.  
>  
> “I was therefore thrilled to learn that their dedication had been recognised with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service”  
>  
> Jennifer Arthur, Erasmus Darwin Foundation

The Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire, Ian Dudson CBE KStJ, who is Her Majesty’s representative for the county added:

> “I am delighted that we have again secured more winners this year.  
>  
> “Once again they are shining examples of the hundreds of organisations in our wonderful county whose volunteers improve the lives of others every day.  
>  
> “We are all extremely grateful for what they do and I send them my warmest congratulations.  
>  
> “I look forward to presenting their awards to each of them later in the year as soon as we come through this very difficult period.”  
>
