“On behalf of Cotswold Friends, I would like to express how very sad we are at the news of the passing of Her Majesty The Queen. We send our sincere condolences to His Majesty King Charles III and the Royal Family.

“Last year, Cotswold Friends was honoured to receive The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. The Queen’s dedication, commitment, and resilience throughout her life of duty touched the lives of millions. I know our staff, volunteers and clients will feel great sadness at this time.”

• Jo Hammond, CEO, Cotswold Friends
