Howick Local Board recently celebrated its volunteers with a recognition ceremony at the Uxbridge Centre.
The ceremony is held every two years, with the awards based on community nominations that celebrate the work volunteers do, and the contributions they make.
“Volunteers are at the heart of many of the successful activities and organisations that make our community such a great place. It’s vital we take time to recognise their tireless efforts and celebrate their incredible work,” Howick Local Board chair Damian Light says.

More than 80 volunteers were honoured for their efforts after community organisations were encouraged to nominate up to three people whose contributions had not been recognised by the board before.

“It was a fantastic evening, celebrating locals who give up their time to help their community,” Light says.
“It was a privilege to read out the reasons behind the nominations, highlighting the wide range of volunteers and organisations they support. We’re incredibly thankful for all the amazing work they do.”
The Howick Local Board thanks all volunteers – ‘We couldn’t do without you!’
