Volunteer of the Year John Fillery and his wife Beryl
John Fillery has been named the Volunteering ACT and NRMA Insurance Volunteer of the Year 2007 at a ceremony during National Volunteer Week. Mr Fillery also received the award in the Community category.
Mr Fillery spent his youth in a Sydney orphanage and as a young man vowed that he would do whatever he could to bring joy to the lives of children. This he does by using recycled scrap timber to make toys which he paints and donates to hospitals and charities such as Barnados, St Vincent de Paul, the Smith Family, the Salvation Army and Marymead.
