TrustPower Nelson Community Awards
Volunteers are at the heart of our community - dedicating hours of time and energy every year to making their community a better place to live.
Each year TrustPower sets out to celebrate and reward volunteers through their Community Awards programme.
The Awards are about celebrating volunteers and the tremendous amount of work they do in our communities. Through the TrustPower Community Awards, volunteers are given well deserved recognition.
