Communities across the Central Coast are being urged to get behind their local finalists for the 2024 NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards, to be announced on Tuesday, December 10.
The Central Coast Volunteer of the Year finalists will join more than 200 of their peers in Sydney at a gala celebration to help mark the announcement of the NSW Volunteer of Year for 2024.
Finalists were chosen from 25 regions around the state and announced at local and regional celebrations over the past few months.
Central Coast Volunteer of the Year finalists for 2024 are: Young Volunteer of the Year – Roan Brown from Camp Quality; Adult Volunteer of the Year – Paula Hardwick from Meals on Wheels, Orange Sky, Because We Care Boutique and Marine Rescue Norah Head; Senior Volunteer of the Year – Duncan Bennet from North Avoca Surf Life Saving Club; and Volunteer Team of the Year – 3 Villages Community Group.
The Centre for Volunteering CEO Gemma Rygate said the awards had uncovered countless stories of people giving their time to help build better and stronger communities.
“More than four million people volunteer each year across NSW, contributing a staggering $178B in social and economic benefits,” Rygate said.
“Volunteers across the Central Coast region are an important part of this incredible effort.
“We wish the Central Coast Volunteer of the Year finalists the very best for the state awards.
“Most importantly we thank all the volunteers across the region for their selfless and remarkable contribution.”
The NSW Department of Communities and Justice and ClubsNSW are the principal partners for the awards.
