RLSS UK values the contributions of all our volunteers, no matter how big or small. We therefore felt it was important to move away from an annual leaderboard to a more inclusive system. The new Award is now cumulative, so our volunteers have the opportunity to reach the various milestones, whether this takes them one year of volunteering or many.
