🙏Thank you for supporting Preston Reservoir Little Athletics Club, Phillip and Lynton.😀

For National Volunteer Week, we’re highlighting the incredible contributions of Philip and Lynton Martin. A father and son duo who have been volunteering at the Preston Reservoir Little Athletics Centre for a combined 28 years. 💙

They bring so much energy and community spirit to PRLAC, helping create a welcoming space where local children can stay active, be involved and thrive.

As they share, “For us, the greatest reward is seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces as they take part in Little Athletics, give their best effort and achieve their personal bests.”

Thank you, Philip and Lynton, for your long-standing dedication and for the positive impact you continue to make in the Darebin community. 🌟
