Help celebrate people in the community who are making a real difference by placing a nomination in the Newcastle Permanent Future Maker Awards with a total $5,000 in prizes on offer.
Nominations for the Future Maker Awards are open to everyone in NSW across the categories of community, sport, business, research, and innovation and the winner in each category will take home $1,000 from Newcastle Permanent.
Briella Gyler-Dial of Gwandalan, who won the Junior Surf Life Saver of the Year award in 2022, represents the sport category and is a fine example of a Future Maker.
Chief Distribution Officer Paul Juergens said the program honoured people who were leading the way to help change the community for the better.
“Their stories inspire us all,” he said.
“The Future Maker Awards are a chance for local individuals who go above and beyond for their communities to receive the recognition they deserve.
“As a customer-owned bank, we love giving back to our local community and no matter how big or small their contribution, we want to know about people in the community who are making a difference; the ones who put a smile on people’s faces for the work that they do.
“Anyone can nominate a Future Maker and we encourage the community to put forward people that inspire them the most and contribute to the success and wellbeing of their community.
“The awards are part of Newcastle Permanent’s 120th birthday celebrations, with the milestone anniversary providing the perfect opportunity to celebrate our ongoing commitment to our local communities and regions.”
Nominations for Future Makers is open to anyone who is making a difference, from a cafe owner who offers exceptional service each morning and provides employment for local youth, to a local mum dedicating her life to help victims of domestic violence, to a local football player who’s passionate about sharing new techniques with schools in the area, or even an up-and-coming researcher who’s making headway in their area of expertise.
Nominations close on May 5 online at Future Makers Awards (newcastlepermanent.com.au) and winners will be announced in July.
