About the Awards
The 2023 NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards saw thousands of volunteers recognised for their tireless commitment to community, despite unprecedented challenges in recent years. With 4.3 million adults giving service to the causes that matter most to them, it is important that we celebrate the invaluable contributions they make all year round.
We are grateful for the support of our sponsors and supporters.
