Big hearts, big impact, big congratulations to the Calvary Kogarah Volunteer team for two outstanding recognitions at the 2026 Southern Sydney NSW Volunteer of the Year Awards.
Paul Quinn, one of the dedicated volunteers at Calvary Health Care Kogarah, was named Southern Sydney NSW Senior Volunteer of the Year, recognising six years of compassionate service supporting palliative care patients and their families. Congratulations, Paul!
There was more wonderful news on ceremony day to come with the Calvary Kogarah Biography Team named Southern Sydney NSW Volunteer Team of the Year. Through their remarkable work, the team helps capture and preserve people’s life stories, creating something meaningful for patients and families to treasure.
Our congratulations goes out to Paul and the entire the Calvary Kogarah Biography Team for their contribution to palliative care volunteering. As regional winners, Paul and the Biography Service team will now go on to represent Southern Sydney at the NSW Volunteer of the Year State Awards in Sydney this December. We will all be cheering for you!
