A community hero, a passionate advocate, a committed volunteer – the hunt is now on to nominate an exceptional local senior as part of the 2025 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.
Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson says seniors make a major contribution and are a valued part of the region’s community.
“We are fortunate to have seniors living in our community who go above and beyond, sacrificing their free time to better the lives of those who live around them,” Mr Anderson said.
“Their endless energy, commitment and compassion is something we can all learn from which is why it’s important we take the time to recognise them and celebrate their achievements.”
“The Seniors Local Achievement award does that by shining a light on those who are recognised by their friends, neighbours, and families as an outstanding local senior.”
“If you know an outstanding local senior who makes our community a better place through volunteering, advocacy or innovation, please let me know by nominating them for my Seniors Local Achievement Award.”
Nominations are now open for the Seniors Local Achievement Award and close on the 23rd of February.
“I’m looking forward to seeing our local nominees and learning more about the great things they are doing for our community,” Mr Anderson added.
“Nomination forms can be picked up at my office, or you can have them emailed or posted to you by contacting my office on 6766 1422.”
The 2025 NSW Seniors Festival runs from 3-16 March with a range of events being run across NSW.
