Uranquinty's Deb Bewick awarded Community Service Award

I was delighted to present Uranquinty’s Deborah Bewick with a NSW Government Community Service Award, which recognised the enormous contribution she has made to organisations in her community.

Mrs Bewick is currently president of the Uranquinty Progress Association, and is also president of the Wagga Wagga Autism Support Group, which she says she has been watching grow and change over the last 20 years.

Mrs Bewick has been volunteering and working with community groups for most of her life.

Of her volunteering work, Mrs Bewick said “the best part of being involved with volunteering is the people. None of these things can be done alone. The people you form teams with, the people you meet and help – they are community and are connections that matter.”
