Upper Harbour Volunteer Recognition Programme

Nominate a volunteer

Nominations closed on 30 April 2024.

Award criteria and information

The Upper Harbour Volunteer Recognition Programme acknowledges efforts by individuals and communities in our local board area that often go unnoticed.

The programme honours those who give their time, including:

• individuals of all ages
• not-for-profit organisations or local community groups that also provide a way for individuals to volunteer.

We will invite all nominees who meet this criteria to a ceremony to receive a certificate recognising their efforts.
