Community Heroes

Congratulations to Wagga Wagga’s Peter and Trish Hilton, who received a 2022 Community Hero Award, in recognition of their dedicated service to the community.

Peter and Trish have been recognised for their many years of volunteer work in the Wagga Wagga community, particularly through South Wagga Anglican Church.

Peter is a dedicated member of the church’s men's working bee group, which has been nicknamed The Chain Gang, and helps each week to deliver bread to Wagga Wagga households in need, as well as helping Carevan to get meals to the church each week for distribution.

Trish volunteers in the kids’ ministries at Mainly Music, in the bible study creche, at kids’ club and assists during services, particularly when it comes to helping with children.

Both Peter and Trish are always willing to give a helping hand, get food out to people in need, tackle small projects and care for people both in their church community and beyond.

Wagga Wagga is extremely fortunate to have people like Peter and Trish, who are quietly and modestly devoting so much time and effort to assisting their community.

It was an honour to present them with their award and to meet members of their family and the South Wagga Anglican Church community.
