Do you know an unsung hero in our community? Nominate them for a Newcastle Volunteer Service Award today!

Every day across Newcastle, volunteers quietly roll up their sleeves and get to work – lending a hand at local charities, supporting our sporting clubs, mentoring young people, caring for our environment, and helping neighbours in need.

Their selfless efforts make our community stronger, fairer, and more connected. And now, it’s time to say thank you.

I’m proud to announce that nominations are now open for the 2025 Newcastle Volunteer Awards, a special opportunity to recognise and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of volunteers across our region.

Whether it’s a dedicated individual, a passionate youth volunteer, or a team making a big impact together, I want to hear their story.

If you know someone who goes above and beyond for others, I encourage you to submit a nomination and help shine a light on their incredible work.

Nominations close 30 September 2025.
