LOCAL resident, Alana Baldi has taken out top honours recently being named the Volunteer of the Year at the 2018 Victorian Disability Sport and Recreation Awards.
Held at Southbank, the awards recognise the achievements of people with disability, those who support them and the inclusive sport and recreation sector across the state.

“One of the wonderful things about these awards is that we get to see the remarkable accomplishments of so many different people and organisations,” Richard said.
“It is the level of commitment and dedication to success – whether that be through competition or by making sport and recreation a better, more inclusive space, that inspires me every year.
“I thank all our finalists and winners for their contributions. Their stories represent the strength of human spirit and a genuine desire to help and support others to achieve their goals.”
