Can you think of someone who is an outstanding member of the community?
Consider nominating them for the 2027 NSW Seniors Festival Local Senior of the Year Awards.
State MP Richie Williamson said the awards were an opportunity to recognise the contributions seniors make.
“We are fortunate to have some terrific people in our senior community doing great things right across the Clarence and Richmond valleys, and now is the time to recognise them,” Mr Williamson said.
“There are so many wonderful people whose generosity, dedication and community spirit help make the places we call home better places to live.
“Whether they are volunteering their time, supporting local organisations, helping family and friends, mentoring younger generations or simply being someone others can count on, their contribution is invaluable.
“Too often, these people quietly get on with making our communities stronger without expecting any recognition.
Mr Williamson said that age should never be a barrier to making a difference.
Nominations close February 10.
