From the AWWNSW team and family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year of good health and happiness.
Our new team have come to know many of you throughout this challenging year and hope we meet many more in 2022.
We look forward to taking AWWNSW through the next phase of growth as we welcome more from our community. We take much pride in the work we do here in a place where meaning and purpose unite. We are excited about the future and hope to help make a difference to more members, widows, women and families.
To our members and the many other veteran organisations, suppliers, government and our Patron, thank you for your continued support.
