Celebrating Our 2024 Volunteer Award Winners

We are delighted to announce the winners of this year’s P&C Federation of NSW Volunteer Awards!

Each year, we are inspired by the dedication of volunteers, P&C Associations, and school leaders who go above and beyond to support their school communities. This year, the nominations were especially strong, showcasing the incredible efforts taking place across NSW.
