Tamworth man Graham Cameron has been recognised with a national award for helping run one of the biggest homelessness events in regional Australia.
Graham, who works for Services Australia in Tamworth, helped coordinate the local Homeless Connect day, bringing up to 50 government and community organisations together under the one roof.
“There’s been amazing support for the event as it’s grown over the last few years,” Graham said.
“When Homeless Connect first started in 2013, we had about 330 people attend. Last year, that had grown to approximately 1,000.
“The Tamworth community really gets behind this event. We get lots of offers to help, from making donations of goods and services to offering to participate in the day.”
