The City’s 2026 Community Citizen of the Year was Vicky Young, pictured, the president and co-founder of Dandelions WA, a charity which delivers support and dignity to people across the state.
Dandelions WA has formed connections with a wide range of WA organisations, providing kits that support Western Australians experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, hospitalisation and other forms of hardship.
Nominations close Friday 31 October 2026, so don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate someone who deserves the spotlight.
Let’s honour the people who make the City of Stirling a better place to live.
