Every year, these Awards honour people who are making an extraordinary difference – from the unseen heroes working quietly in the background, to those leading bold initiatives in their communities.

In the past, we’ve seen regional volunteer communities get behind these Awards – and many of those individuals have gone on to be recognised nationally.
