Tasmania     2021 - Young Tasmania of The Year


Published in the Tasmania Newspapers.


Bella Oakley was recognised as Kingborough’s Young Citizen of the Year for her commitment, empathy and enthusiasm as a volunteer and for supporting people in need in Kingborough. “I am inspired by people such as Edna Pennicott, who I have known from a young age and I love helping people” Bella said

Kingborough Council commended Bella, at 13, for having a social conscience that would impress many people double her age, accompanied by a rare commitment and dedication to supporting her local community and a genuine enjoyment of helping others.

For the past six years, Bella has worked extensively with KHH, meaning she started working with the charity when she was seven.

Bella has taken part in all the aspects of the charity work from cooking for fundraising, collecting and sorting donations to selling raffle tickets or helping at the Sharing Tree after school or on weekends, and importantly being one of the last people standing after a major event to help with cleaning and packing up.

During 2020 Bella displayed versatility, flexibility and perseverance in her service to the community, supporting people who were elderly or immune compromised by walking dogs, baking, sending cards and delivering groceries.
