LEGENDS OF LYNE

I know the value of volunteering and I know what an impact it has on the ground for the towns and villages across the Lyne electorate - both socially and economically.

That is why I am very pleased to launch the Legends of Lyne Award, an opportunity to thank our volunteers for everything they have done and continue to do, to keep our communities safe, resilient and thriving.

Around 8.7 million Australians regularly volunteer their skills, services and time to make life better for those around them.

Volunteers embody the best of Australians – you are the best of our nation.

Your remarkable efforts are increasing the strength, resilience and well being of our community.

Volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes – from a casual ‘yes I’ll help at the local fete” through to a regular gig with the many community organisations who work tirelessly to help those in need.

Volunteering plays a critical role in helping shape our electorate and building strong and resilient communities.
