Over the last 20 years the Trustpower Community Awards have grown into one of the country’s largest volunteer-based Awards programmes.
Through the Awards, thousands of volunteers have been recognised and almost a million dollars has been injected into community groups up and down the country.
Today, the Trustpower Community Awards are run in 26 regions around the country, in conjunction with local district or city councils. Any voluntary group or volunteer-based not-for-profit organisation is eligible for the Awards, which recognise past achievements or work undertaken by volunteers over the previous 12 months. Supreme Winners from the regional Awards share ideas and experiences and compete for the title of Trustpower National Community Award Supreme Winner.
