Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) has received a knighthood in recognition of his work on behalf of the voluntary and community sector.
Etherington described the knighthood as an unexpected honour and one which demonstrated recognition of the importance of civil society.
He said: “It is an honour and a privilege to work with voluntary and community organisations. Our sector makes an immense contribution to the lives of individuals and communities, making a positive difference to society. For me, this knighthood is recognition for all those whose hard work, dedication and commitment we sometimes hear too little about.”
Stuart Etherington was appointed Chief Executive of NCVO in 1994.
Prior to joining NCVO he was Chief Executive of the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID).
