2023 Tasmanian Volunteer Awards
Published on
At Aurora, we know volunteering can make a huge difference in our state.
According to this data, 68.8 per cent of the Tasmanian adult population volunteer, contributing at least $4 billion in benefits across the state.
The Tasmanian Volunteering Awards is the only state-wide awards program recognising excellence in volunteering by individuals and organisations across Tasmania.
Aurora has sponsored the Volunteering Tasmania ‘Lifetime Achievement’ award since 2019, the award recognises an individual’s commitment to at least 25 years of volunteering in our community.
Finalists for the Lifetime Achievement Volunteer Award:
Trevor Flower – Deloraine Ex Services and Citizens Club
Trevor Flower is a dynamic force within the Deloraine and Meander Valley communities. He has been an active member and club president of the Deloraine Ex Services Club for an impressive 30+ years. He keeps busy promoting the services of the club far and wide, and on top of that, he supports the monthly gatherings of the Meander Valley charity singers. Trevor has worn many hats, from social committee member to club president and no matter what he does, he does it with a smile and a laugh.
Graeme Foale – Motor Yacht Club of Tasmania – M.L Egeria
Graeme is a highly respected member of the Hobart maritime community, having dedicated much of his life to serving in various voluntary roles in the Navy Reserve, the Royal Hobart Regatta and Lindisfarne Sailing Club. Graeme currently leads a group of skilled volunteers that maintain and charter the historic vessel M.L. Egeria, a locally built wooden motor launch that has cruised the river since 1941. Graeme’s contributions have enabled many others to enjoy time on the water and his leadership and commitment is truly inspirational.
The award ceremony will be held on Friday 19 May, where Volunteering Tasmania will celebrate the awesome volunteers who make a real difference in our communities every day.
