Westfield Local Heroes is a recognition and awards program that shines the spotlight on individuals in Australia and New Zealand who make a positive impact to their local community or environment.
Every year, Westfield recognise more than 120 Westfield Local Hero finalists.
Over the past eight years, they have discovered and celebrated 991 individuals and provided over $9.8 million in community grants to their organisations.
Community members nominate their heroes and three finalists are selected for each Westfield destination to go through to the community vote. The successful hero for each of the 42 Westfield destinations is awarded a $20,000 grant for the organisation or group they represent, and each finalist receives a $5,000 grant for their organisation or group.
Do you know someone in your community who is making a positive impact? Nominate them today as a Westfield Local Hero.
