THE search has begun to find Frankston’s best volunteer.
Nominations for the 2022 Frankston City Volunteer Awards have opened. The annual awards are hosted by Impact Volunteering.
Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy has encouraged residents to nominate hard working volunteers for the awards. “I encourage you to nominate a special volunteer who is doing great things in our community in one of five categories: service, leadership, initiative, youth and teamwork. By nominating them you’ll be highlighting their great work and dedication as well as creating awareness of the fabulous community organisations out there,” he said.
“We have over 16,800 volunteers in Frankston City, who contribute more than 46,000 hours of their time each and every year to our community. It’s a remarkable contribution that is equal to $1.3 million worth of donated time annually. There are many groups and programs in the Frankston City community who rely on the time and skills of volunteers to do the work they do. From providing Meals on Wheels to helping out with a local sporting club, and even in keeping our local beaches free from rubbish – we rely on the work of our volunteers to keep the city running.”
Nominations close 1 August. To submit someone for the awards visit frankston.smartygrants.com.au/VolunteerAwards22
