“The people and organisations recognised today have all made extremely valuable contributions to their communities. What they've done is inspiring. They've made projects happen, bringing about genuine and positive change, and they are building the bigger, stronger society that I want us all to be a part of. I hope their example will motivate others to take action and get involved.
