| |  | The Community Spirit Awards are back for 2021 |
|
It’s time to shine the spotlight on those unsung heroes in your streets, suburbs and neighbourhoods who are making a real difference. Leading with compassion and caring for our communities is more essential than ever; whether it be helping a friend or neighbour, volunteering for a worthy cause, amplifying those voices often not heard, or raising much needed funds to help those in need. We're inviting you to nominate any person, group, organisation or club that truly represents what community spirit means to you. Nominations are now open across five different categories and close September 26, so head to abc.net.au/communityspirit and let’s celebrate our local heroes. We can’t wait to hear from you, Craig & Loretta |
