Cape Byron Steiner School student Lily Harrison was among 25 students who received the prestigious John Lincoln Youth Community Award at Government House on September 14.
The award recognises outstanding service or engagement by young people with their local community, or to Australia in general. Governor of NSW the Hon David Hurley presented the awards, in a ceremony conducted by the Order of Australia Association (NSW) branch. The association’s Greg Campbell said Lily was recognised for her extensive community work; just one of her enterprises is providing local homeless and vulnerable women with sanitary and hygiene items called Period Packs. These are distributed through outlets such as Liberation Larder.
