The Dave Henry Award
This award is presented in honour of Dave Henry, a dedicated member of Rotary St Alphege.
He was a devoted fundraiser and champion of young carers for 7 years before he passed away in January 2021. His passion to achieve a quality of life for young carers and his drive to make things happen stood out.
He reached out, spoke out, showed up, joined in and asked for nothing in return but the happiness of others – and what was in his heart is at the centre of what all young carers do – to give, and care – selflessly about others. His qualities are what are reflected in the outstanding individual who receives this award.
