In the United Kingdom, a daily Points of Light programme recognising outstanding individual volunteers was developed in partnership with the US programme of the same name and launched by then Prime Minister David Cameron at 10 Downing Street in April 2014.
The awards continued under Prime Ministers Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak with 2,327 individuals across the UK recognised. As of 2026, the awards' website shows that the most recent award was given on 23 May 2024 — the day after Sunak announced the 2024 United Kingdom general election, which he lost to the Labour Party.
