NOMINATE A COMMUNITY HERO!

Nominations are now open for the 2024 Jagajaga Community Volunteer Awards

These annual awards recognise the work of those who selflessly volunteer their time and effort to make our local community a better place.

A ceremony will be held for award recipients and their guests:
Viewbank College Performing Arts Centre
1 Warren Rd, Viewbank VIC 3084

Saturday 20th April 2024
10am to 12pm

I am pleased to invite nominations to recognise the volunteers who have made our community a better place over the past year.

Previous recipients have achieved amazing things; delivered essential food relief, coached local sporting teams, helped operate social enterprises, fundraised, delivered physical and mental wellbeing initiatives, hosted faith and friends’ groups, cared for our environment and much more.

When you nominate a volunteer, you’ll be highlighting the great work they do.
