The Awards recognised the invaluable contribution of those who have assisted older people in the Manilla community.
“(Today) we recognise an outstanding senior in Barbara, whose generosity has gone a long way to helping others,” Tamworth Regional Council Mayor Col Murray said.
“It is a testament to the community that there were 23 entries for the Awards. It goes to show the work of Seniors is highly valued and (this) has been a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate these valuable contributions.”
