Every day, the staff at City West Housing (CWH) hear uplifting stories of residents looking out for each other and doing projects that bring the community together.
The Community Impact Awards is an initiative to celebrate CWH residents who are making a significant impact on the people around them. It’s part of our ongoing efforts to ensure all of our residents feel safe and welcomed in their CWH community.
These awards help us to uncover and shine a spotlight on stories about residents who are making a positive impact in their building and the broader community. And by sharing these great stories, we also think it’s a great way to build community!
The winners of each award will receive a $1250 Coles Group and Myer gift card.
Nominations closed on 22 September. The winners will be announced at the Annual Resident Forum on 19 October.
Community Hero Award
Recognising those residents who have been active in and contributed positively to their community. This could be for organising an event or project, or reaching out to neighbours to build community.
We all know someone who is always doing things for others and their building without looking for recognition or reward. This award is to recognise those special neighbours who usually go unnoticed.
