Member for Wallsend, Sonia Hornery MP has very proudly announced that the 2024 Wallsend Woman of the Year is community advocate and founder of the We Love Lambton Pool Alliance, Anna Dawson- Glasby.
Anna is a staunch community activist and regular pool user who decided that ‘enough was enough’ when she witnessed the neglect of her local pool. She founded the We Love Lambton Pool Facebook group which swiftly grew to almost a thousand members.
Following this success, Anna brought together the We Love Lambton Pool Alliance as a community group of pool users to encourage more investment, care, and attention for this vital community asset.
With Anna’s strong advocacy, we have seen a new grandstand built, some other minor upgrades as well as a promise from City of Newcastle for future investment at Lambton Park Memorial Swimming Centre.
“The Woman of the Year Awards are an important way for the NSW Government to recognise women who have made an important difference in our communities in the last year.” Sonia Hornery MP said.
“I am proud to announce Anna as the Wallsend Woman of the Year. Anna cares for her community and has stepped up to ensure that this valuable community asset has a strong voice behind it.
“Anna is committed to holding all elected representatives to account, including myself, to ensure that our valued community assets are looked after to the highest standards. It’s been a pleasure getting to know Anna and look forward to working with her to improve our community further in the future.” Ms Hornery added.
