Volunteer of the Year rallies volunteers in Noosa

Noosa Council candidate, Leigh McCready rallied her volunteers last week along the Noosa River to thank them for their early support of her campaign.

Around 25 of her supporters gathered to hear Leigh outline her plans for Noosa should she be elected in March.

The Sunshine Coast Volunteer of the year 2022 has been overwhelmed by the response to the announcement that she’s running for council with over 70 locals signing up to help with flyer drops, door knocking and working at polling booths when election time rolls around next March.

Volunteers were kitted out in Leigh’s signature aqua campaign t-shirts and enjoyed a drink and a chat as they watched the sun set over Noosa River.

Leigh said, “I’m been really humbled by the support, so many people have come out of the woodwork to tell me they’ll do whatever they can to help me.”
