The presentation of Awards allows the ACT Children's Week Committee to give public recognition to individuals or groups for outstanding contributions to the needs, welfare and interests of children, either in a voluntary or in a paid capacity.
We are looking for people in the community who 'make a difference', not forgetting the 'quiet achievers'. We also seek nominations for young people who make a difference and are role models for others. |
