✨️ The Danielle Crotty ✨️
Volunteer of the year award

This award goes to Lesley Thomas, an outstanding and active member of our community.

She is heavily involved in numerous community groups, including:
- Appin Primary School P&C
- Appin Chamber of Commerce
- Appin Community Hub
- Appin Carols in the Park

Lesley uses her public profile to sponsor various sporting clubs and community initiatives, such as:
- Appin Dogs
- Appin United Soccer Club
- Appin Chamber of Commerce
- Appin Carols in the Park
- Our Community Christmas Tree

You’ll often find Lesley volunteering at BBQs, stalls, canteens or even on bin duty during community events. If you stay until the end of any event - you’ll see her tidying up and packing away—never leaving until all the work is done.

Through her close relationship with Appin Primary School, Lesley has been instrumental in establishing a successful school readiness program, ensuring young children transition smoothly to “big school.”

And if that’s not impressive enough, Lesley accomplishes all of this while raising four children, juggling their busy schedules, and running two successful childcare centres.

We’re not sure where she finds the time, but her dedication is truly inspiring.

This makes Lesley a most deserving recipient of the 'Danielle Crotty Award'. We’re certain Danielle would be proud to see Lesley honored in her name.

Congratulations, Lesley, and thank you for everything you do for our community!
