- More Time To Nominate Volunteers
Nominations for the Knox Community Awards have been extended to 7 April 2025. Do not miss your chance to honour volunteers for their valuable contribution in Knox.
Knox has a strong volunteering culture, with 13.1% of the population aged 15 and over, dedicating their time to some form of voluntary work. There are more than 17,000 volunteers that make a positive difference in Knox.
Our Awards recognise everyday volunteers for the important work they do, including supporting those in need, and helping important causes.
This is a great opportunity to nominate individuals, groups and organisations.
There are four award categories:
- Knox Volunteer of the Year
- Knox Community Organisation of the Year
- Outstanding Volunteer Service
- Recognition of Years of Service.
Winners will be announced at an event that will be held during National Volunteer Week (19-25 May) this year.
Nominations close 5pm 7 April 2025. For more information the Knox Community Awards webpage.
