We are extremely pleased to announce a new initiative that enables us to help celebrate some of the wonderful, selfless people who dedicate their time and skills to helping others in our local community or preserving the fantastic place in which we live.

Every eight weeks, the team from Volunteer South will call for nominations from their member organisations to recognise an individual or a group of up to twelve people who deserve a pat on the back and a small gesture to show that they truly make a difference to those around them or to the environment.

Each time a winner or winning group is selected, they will be invited to a special morning tea at Venturi Café.

For all of us here at the Golden Centre, it is a privilege to welcome these local heroes to our little shopping centre with a big heart and say a huge thank you for the work they do.
