Congratulations to the 2018 NSW Volunteers of the Year

2018 NSW Volunteer of the Year Wendy Dalton

 

The 2018 NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards were an incredible celebration recognising 112,000 nominees from 470 organisations across the state.

We travelled more than 10,000 kilometres over eight weeks to meet with these volunteers at 20 regional ceremonies held in every corner of NSW.

We were joined by our State and Federal Members of Parliament, Mayors and councillors, and community and business sector leaders as well as family and friends of our special volunteers.

It was a celebration to say thank you. To highlight the dedication and support provided by the volunteer sector.

And to provide a platform for these organisations to share their stories.

The regional ceremonies culminated in the Gala State Ceremony in Sydney in December where we announced our NSW Volunteer of the Year Award winners. The event was attended by more than 300 finalists, family and friends, who were entertained by Australian pop icon Paulini.

Special messages of congratulations were sent by the NSW Governor, the Premier of NSW and the Prime Minister of Australia.

It was an appropriate way for our volunteers to be reminded that their work is truly appreciated and celebrated.

We could not have brought their amazing work into the spotlight without the help and support of our Principal Award Partners; ClubsNSW and the Family and Community Services NSW.

We would like to thank them again for helping to make these awards a success.
