Nominations now open for the 2020 Moderator’s Community Service Medal

The 2020 Moderator’s Community Service Medal is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge our dedicated volunteers who do great work in the community and exhibit outstanding or innovative service that truly makes a difference.

This year, judges are looking for nominations that reflect UnitingCare Queensland’s mission—Bringing life in all its fullness through improving the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities as we: reach out to people in need; speak out for fairness and justice; care with compassion, innovation and wisdom.

Nominees must:
• Be a volunteer supporting community services through the Uniting Church or its agencies (past or present),
• Have exhibited outstanding service over a number of years; and contributed in an exceptional or innovative way,
• Not be a current employee of the Uniting Church or one of its agencies (e.g. UnitingCare Queensland, Wesley Mission Queensland).
