Wellington Samaritans were nominated by our Wellington Administration Officer in the category of Long-Service Team and to our delight, won this award with Outstanding Achievement. Rosemary Cole, Peter Barker, Libby Drummond and Tami Louisson attended the award ceremony on behalf of all our Wellington long-serving volunteers. As the longest-serving Wellington volunteer with 52 years’ service, Rosemary gave a speech accepting the award.
