Two members of Central Coast Marine Rescue have been honoured at the Central Coast National Volunteer Week ceremony.
Unit Commander, Ian Morrow, was presented with the Volunteer Manager 2023 award, while youngest member, Will Shaddock, received a High Commendation in the Young Volunteer of the Year division.
When presented with the award in front of about 100 other Central Coast volunteers, Morrow paid tribute to “a great executive team at the unit who support me”.
“A successful unit commander is only as good as the support given by his management team and members, and I have been very fortunate to have a wonderful and competent unit behind me,” he said.
Shaddock, 18, who joined the local unit when he was 16, said Marine Rescue’s motto is “saving lives on the water”, and, apart from great camaraderie, “it’s wonderful to know we’re helping local boaties.”
Executive Officer of Volunteering Central Coast, Dianne Moy, thanked all local volunteer organisations for taking the time to nominate volunteers and teams for a Volunteering Central Coast Award.
“We are so impressed by the stories you have shared about some of the incredible volunteers we have here on the Central Coast,” she said.
