Do you know someone who makes a difference in your community?

The Thames-Coromandel District Council Community Service Awards recognise the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to make our communities better places to live, often without recognition and without pay.

Across our District, there are countless volunteers and community champions whose commitment, generosity, and hard work deserve to be celebrated. These awards are an opportunity to acknowledge and honour their valuable contributions.

Nominate someone today and help us celebrate the people who make a positive difference in our communities.
