Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin is encouraging residents of the Lismore electorate to celebrate the positive role seniors play in the community by putting in a nomination for the 2025 NSW Seniors Festival Local Achievement Awards.

“If you know a senior who helps make our community diverse, inspiring and active, then I encourage you to nominate them for acknowledgement of their contribution

“The annual NSW Seniors Festival is about celebrating the positive impact of older people in our families and society.

“Nominations are now open for the awards program, one of many initiatives the NSW Government promotes to support the state’s seniors living happy, healthy, and active lives.

Winners of the Local Achievement Awards will be announced during the NSW Seniors Festival, which runs from 3rd-16th March 2025

By highlighting seniors’ continued efforts in helping the Lismore electorate thrive, we are continuing to challenge ageism and empower seniors to overcome social stigmas.
