SOME of the hardest working volunteers in Frankston had their efforts recognised last week.

The annual Impact Volunteer Awards honour the Frankston residents who go above and beyond volunteering for good causes. The ceremony was held last week.

Beverley Valentine from Meals on Wheels and Marcus Grinblat from Coast Guard Frankston won the service to the community award. Jack Wheeler from Peninsula Transport Assist won the initiative award, and the organisation itself won the outstanding volunteer organisation honour. Community Support Frankston won the teamwork award. Andrea McCall was Frankston University of the Third Age won in the leadership category, and Madison Horp and Brianna Neil were joint winners of the youth category.

Grinblat said that he was “honoured to receive the award. It’s real teamwork from everybody.”

“Everyone has to work as a team to achieve the results in marine search and rescue,” he said.

Valentine said “I am humbled and honoured to receive the award. I was born in Frankston and have lived in Frankston all my life – you volunteer because you want to give back to the community that’s given me so much.”

Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy congratulated the winners. “Our volunteers are the absolute best of Frankston City – constantly and selflessly serving their community. The inspirational people recognised in the Impact Volunteer Awards 2022 are dedicated to supporting others in need over a long period of time,” he said.
