Ms Golding-Clarke received the award which was among the tribute categories for the Frances Pennington award, which honours public and community housing tenants who are having a positive impact in their local community. She won the principal Frances Pennington award in 2001.
Ms Golding-Clark was nominated for the achievement award this year by the Department of Human Services for her work for local organisations such as the Emma House centre against domestic violence, the South Western Centre Against Sexual Assault at Warrnambool, the Archie Graham senior citizens’ centre and Lifeline.
Ms Golding-Clarke, 80, now a retired social and welfare worker, has been involved with many of the local community groups for decades.
She said she remained involved with the community groups because there was “too much to do” and believed she could still make a positive contribution to the community.
This year’s Frances Pennington award was won by Congolese immigrant Derrick Bwihambi for his community work in the Shepparton area.
