A Williams Landing boy has become the youngest-ever recipient of the Lalor Hero Awards.
Eight-year-old Samarveer and his father Japinder Sandhu were last month recognised for their extensive volunteer work to help the community.
The pair, who have been volunteering with the United Sikhs for several years, helped prepare and deliver meals to people in need throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
And last year, Samarveer touched hearts when he visited Werribee Police station dressed in his police costume after four police officers were struck and killed by a truck on the Eastern Freeway at Kew.
Samarveer paid his respects at the station, asking the officers present if they could hold a minute of silence.

Melbourne Symphony rocks Wyndham
Wyndham City is in discussions with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for its return to Wyndham Park following the success of last Friday’s Summer Series event.
More than 900 people attended the sold-out event and a further 2000 people viewed the event via live stream.
The Summer Series event was the first of the MSO’s free outdoor concert series.
Spectators were enthralled by the MSO’s world-class musicians who performed excerpts and short works from much-loved music, including renowned pieces by Mozart and Beethoven, plus contemporary classics.
Children were entertained earlier in the day with a music workshop which included a 30-minute performance with music from the Nutcracker.
