Nominations have now opened for the 2025 NSW Volunteer of the Year awards which recognise the outstanding efforts of the 4.3 million volunteers in NSW.
Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson says volunteering is incredibly valuable to the region’s communities, with a range of not-for-profits, community groups and sporting organisations relying on the hard work of volunteers.
“Volunteers contribute $178 billion to the NSW economy, and I know here locally, our community just wouldn’t work without the hard work and dedication of volunteers,” Mr Anderson said.
“I’ve said many times that volunteers are the backbone of our communities, and that is particularly true in the Tamworth electorate.”
“From our show committees to our Lions clubs, our emergency services and our hospital auxiliaries and our sporting clubs, there are those in our communities who work, day and night to make our part of the world a better place to live.”
“There are countless projects and initiatives in our electorate that simply would never have happened without the work of volunteers, and I sincerely thank everyone who sacrifices their time for the betterment of our communities.”
“If you know someone who deserves to be recognised as part of the 2025 NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards, I encourage you to get your nomination in now!”
The NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards are an annual program aimed at recognising the incredible dedication, effort and community service of our state’s volunteers, volunteer leaders and volunteer teams.
Nominations for the 2025 awards are now open and close on Friday 23rd of May 2025.
