Tweed Shire Australia Day Awards - 2023 Senior Ambassador - Heather McClelland

The 2023 Senior Ambassador award inaugural winner is Heather McClelland.
A recently retired therapist and published author on trauma therapy, Heather plays vital roles in her local Uki community and the broader Tweed.
She is a key organiser of several local events; a practising artist and active member of the organising committee of the Images of Uki art exhibition; a founding member of the Uki Refugee Project and an influential member of a local Tweed Valley book club, the Murwillumbah Philharmonic Choir and her local church.
Her contributions have brought people together and inspired others, exemplifying the distinctive value seniors bring to the Tweed community.
