Daybreak's very own Loretta Rigby was awarded yesterday at the Coffs Harbour Australia Day Awards as Volunteer of the Year (Highly Commended).

Loretta has worked tirelessly on the Towers of Strength Project since 2004 and her fellow members of Daybreak all agree that the task has been tough and would be nowhere near the stage it is, without Loretta's passion and commitment.

The Coffs Coast Advocate has a story with all the winners from the Awards!
