🏆🌟 Congratulations, Harrison “Buddy” Dare! 🌟🏆

We are incredibly proud to celebrate 13-year-old Harrison “Buddy” Dare, a valued member of the Hilltops Youth Action Group, on being recognised as the 2026 Central West Young Volunteer of the Year! 🎉👏

Buddy is proof that you’re never too young to make a difference. 💙

Through his volunteering, Buddy has supported countless local events, organisations and community initiatives, including Hilltops Youth Action Group, The Book Nook, Harden Kite Festival, Rotary Community Garden and Zac’s Place Community Centre.

He also spends his own time creating beautiful craft items to donate to local not-for-profits and charities to help raise funds through raffles. 🎨❤️

Buddy’s generosity, enthusiasm and commitment to helping others have made a real impact across our community and we couldn’t be prouder to have him as part of the Hilltops Youth Action Group.

Congratulations, Buddy! 🥳🏆
This award is so well deserved, and we can’t wait to see all the wonderful things you continue to achieve.

Keep shining and showing us all that young people can make a BIG difference! 🌟🙌
