Community Awards

So many people in the Hastings District have devoted their time and energy to making a difference in our communities. Victim support volunteers, sport coaches, art enthusiasts; the list goes on.

Each year the Council recognises the voluntary service of individuals or groups/organisations through the Community Awards (Civic Honour Awards).

So how did we find out about these wonderful people? Through you!
