Everyday heroes will be given a leg up in a new community recognition and grants program.
Westfield has opened applications for people to nominate people and organisations who deserve to be recognised for their work that benefits the local area.
Three Westfield Local Heroes from each centre will be awarded $10,000 each for their affiliated organisations to help their good work continue to grow and thrive.
As a participating centre, Westfield Fountain Gate is calling on the local community to nominate those that they feel deserve to be recognised and awarded one of the grants, looking for people who promote social wellbeing and harmony.
Westfield Fountain Gate Centre Manager Cathy Main said “Westfield Local Heroes is about finding and celebrating those important people who go above and beyond to help make their community a better place.”
“We recognise the role we as Westfield can play in shining a light on these important individuals and organisations – we are glad to be able to support them and the positive work they do,” she said.
Nominations for Westfield Local Heroes open on Monday 23 April and close on Wednesday 16 May.
The community’s six local finalists will be announced in-centre at Westfield Fountain Gate and online from mid-June.
A final round of public voting will determine Westfield Fountain Gate’s three Westfield Local Heroes for 2018.
