Grandparents are the smiling faces of their grandchildren’s lives and a set of helping hands for their parents, and the Local Grandparent of the Year Awards are a wonderful way to say a big thank you.

I will be honouring Local Grandparents of the Year with commemorative certificates and putting our most inspirational nominees forward to be considered for a NSW Grandparent of the Year Award.

I am writing to invite you to nominate Maitland grandparents who are deserving of our gratitude and appreciation.

Please email me at maitland@parliament.nsw.gov.au or call my office on 4933 1617 to make your nomination.

Please tell me:

• Your full name
• Your address
• Your telephone number:
• Grandparent nominee’s full name
• Grandparent nominee’s address
• Why you think they are deserving of an award.

I will announce our local winners ahead of Grandparents Day on 25 October, 2020 so please ensure you send me your nomination as soon as possible.

I look forward to your nominations and thank you for your help ensuring our most cherished grandparents know just how much they are loved and appreciated.
