Know someone who contributes to positive ageing in our region? Nominate them for this year’s Every Generation Onkaparinga Awards.
The awards recognise everyday people and groups who contribute to ageing well in the City of Onkaparinga.
The council is seeking nominations for people who:
- make a difference as dedicated volunteers in the community
- act as role models, inspiring connections across every generation
- show excellence as high achievers in arts, sport, education or culture
- lead intergenerational initiatives that bring people together.
Nominations are open now and close Friday 24 July.
There are 3 award categories: individual, group and intergenerational.
The individual category recognises individuals aged 50 years and over who have contributed to the community as volunteers.
The group award is for organisations and groups, with most members aged 50 years or over, who have helped the Onkaparinga community to age well.
The intergenerational category recognises groups and individuals of any age who bring the generations together and promote understanding and respect between the generations.
Nominees will join a list of great candidates from the 2025 awards, including award winners Peter Symons in the individual category, Willunga Basin Trail Inc in the group category, and Grandbuddies in the intergenerational category – as well as lifetime awardees Laurel Jared and Eileen MacGreavy.
