Penrith Volunteer of the Year

While volunteers are the backbone of our community - giving, sharing, and sparing their time to help out - they often go unnoticed. 

The Penrith Volunteer of the Year is an annual program that allows me to recognise and celebrate the contributions of volunteers in the Penrith electorate.
