We thank everyone who took the time to nominate volunteers for the 2022 Volunteer of the Year Awards. Without the nominators, these remarkable stories of community spirit, resilience, kindness and determination would not be told to such a wide audience.
From mid-August to mid-October, we celebrated the achievements and dedication of so many amazing volunteers throughout NSW.
We appreciate their contributions to society and especially the huge emotional impact they have on the lives of those around them.
