Among these esteemed volunteers is entrepreneur and philanthropist Dani Stephenson. 

The highly coveted award had thousands of contenders aged between 16 and 101, each hailing from across the United Kingdom. Four hundred ninety of these esteemed nominees were handpicked on the 4th of June 2022 by a judging panel that included Ade Adepitan MBE, Gyles Brandreth, Elaine Page OBE, Felicity Kendal CBE, Julie Siddiqi MBE, and Myleene Klass.

All the honorary individuals were awarded a uniquely designed Platinum Champion Jubilee pin and a signed certificate from Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen for the Platinum Jubilee.
