5th December 2024

SwanCare would not be half the community it is without our team of generous resident volunteers.  

That’s why every year on the 5th of December; we come together as a community to celebrate International Volunteer Day and award our very own Villager of the Year.

The Villager of the Year awards acknowledge the significant contribution made to Village life over the past year for the benefit of our residents. 

This year, we received 27 individual nominations in total, with the Villager of the Year Committee selecting two very worthy recipients for 2024. We thank those who took the time to submit a nomination and congratulate everyone that was nominated. 

It gives us immense pleasure to announce the SwanCare Villager of the Year 2024 awards go to Stan Barclay and Bob Whitney, both of whom have made significant contributions throughout various touchpoints across our village. Stan and Bob have been volunteers for four and seven years, respectively. From driving the SwanMobile, contributing to the Social Club, Bowling Club, Auxiliary and Op Shop, to getting involved with other resident functions and events, just to name a few. 

It’s without question that both Stan and Bob continue to generously dedicate their time to others within the Village and they do so because they enjoy it.

Big congratulations to Stan and Bob, and Thank You!
