Ipswich Citizen of the Year Donna Cavanagh describes the moment hearing her name announced at this year’s awards. In this episode Donna reveals what influences and events shaped the woman she is today and explains the incredible daily commitment to help those doing it tough in our local community. This includes the pressures brought on by the current cost of living and punishingly low vacancy rates for those trying to find a place to rent.Published: 27 January 2023.Music: www.purple-planet.comImage: Donna Cavanagh receiving Citizen of the Year Award from Ipswich mayor Teresa Harding (supplied)Contact Donna: 0413 457 867Helping Support Minds Facebook: http://bit.ly/3WPBodWMore on award recipients: http://bit.ly/3j57vseIpswich City Council: www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/Ipswich Planning Scheme: bit.ly/3g4Jwb7Resilient Homes Fund: bit.ly/3PDPJHHCouncil meeting agendas and minutes: bit.ly/2JlrVKYCouncil meetings on YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/IpswichCityCouncilTVShape your Ipswich: www.shapeyouripswich.com.au/Ipswich Civic Centre: www.ipswichciviccentre.com.au/Discover Ipswich: www.discoveripswich.com.au/Ipswich Art Gallery: www.ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au/Studio 188: www.studio188.com.au/Nicholas Street Precinct: www.nicholasst.com.au/Picture Ipswich: www.pictureipswich.com.au/
