The annual 2SER Volunteer Awards are our annual opportunity to shine a light on just some of the amazing volunteers that contribute to 2SER. In a particularly trying year, we’re more grateful than ever for these legends who contribute to the station in a volunteer capacity! The awards acknowledge unpaid volunteers from the period between 2020 Radiothon and 2021 Radiothon.

The awards were held for the first time in 3 years (with pandemic and bushfires preventing the last two!) at The Loft at UTS on Broadway.
