Central Coast residents are being encouraged to celebrate the positive role seniors play in our community by nominating them for the 2024 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the festival and the awards celebrated the vast contributions and achievements seniors made across the region.
“If you know a senior who helps make our community diverse, inspiring and active, then I encourage you to nominate them for acknowledgement of their contribution,” she said.
“This annual festival is about celebrating the positive impact of older people in our families and society.
“We can all think of someone who makes a difference in our lives in immeasurable ways.
“I encourage everyone to nominate these special seniors, who make our community a better place.”
Nominations are now open for the awards program, one of many initiatives the NSW Government promotes to support the state’s seniors living happy, healthy and active lives.
Winners of the Local Achievement Awards will be announced during the NSW Seniors Festival which runs from March 11-24.
The awards program is part of an exciting schedule of events across the state.
“By highlighting seniors’ continued efforts in helping Gosford thrive, we are continuing to challenge ageism and empower seniors to overcome social stigmas,” Tesch said.
