British honours and awards

Rotherham Communities Together - Queens Award for VS - Oct 2022

The awards

The honours system rewards people who have made achievements in public life. It highlights the people that have committed themselves to serving and helping Britain.

People can receive honours for achievements such as:

  • making a difference to their community or field of work
  • enhancing Britain’s reputation
  • long-term voluntary service
  • innovation and entrepreneurship
  • changing things, with an emphasis on achievement
  • improving life for people less able to help themselves
  • showing moral courage and doing difficult things

Honours are given to people involved in fields including:

  • community, voluntary and local services
  • arts and media
  • health
  • sport
  • education
  • science and technology
  • business and the economy
  • civil or political service

The honour someone gets is decided by an honours committee. The committee’s decisions go to the Prime Minister and then to The King, who awards the honour.

Types of awards

Awarded for an achievement or service to the community. This will have had a long-term impact and stand out as an example to others.

Awarded for having a vital but lesser role at national level, or a leading role at regional level. You can also get one for contribution to any area.

Knight/Dame (KBE/DBE)

Awarded for recognising a pre-eminent contribution in any field of activity. This is normally at national level, or some way which will be recognised by peer groups as inspiring.

Companion of Honour

Awarded in the UK in recognition of a pre-eminent and sustained contribution in the arts, science, medicine, or government. Only a limited number of people can hold the honour at any one time.
