The City of St. John’s has awarded the Building Healthy Communities Volunteer Awards.
Hannah Murphy is the youth recipient and Charlie Murphy is the adult recipient.
The awards recognize volunteers who look to improve the well-being of citizens of the city.
Hannah Murphy volunteers with the City of St. John’s Together in Movement Program, as well as with Dr. Michelle Ploughman’s Recovery and Performance Laboratory.
She says it’s fantastic that the city recognizes volunteers in this way and that all volunteers should be proud of their impact.
Charlie Murphy is an activist and volunteer who has been a co-facilitator for the local P-Flag St. John’s chapter for 10 years, a peer support group for the 2LGBTQIA+ community. He is the co-founder of Raise up Fundraising, helping to raise over $40,000.
He says volunteering is a team effort and he is standing on the shoulders of many who came before him.
