The Franklin Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero award.
If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community, please email 50 to 100 words describing why they deserve this recognition, highlighting specific actions they’ve taken to benefit our community, with your and their contact details and a high-resolution photo of them, if possible, to editor@franklintimes.co.nz.
Be sure to include details about what they’ve been doing, the impact they’ve made, and how long they’ve been involved in these efforts.
The award is sponsored by Little Ed Pukekohe. Recipients will receive a $50 Little Ed voucher and will be featured in our newspaper and on our website. We award one Community Hero in each edition of our newspaper, published twice a month.
Our first December recipient is Judy Heighway, nominated by Robyn Driver, who writes:
“For over six years Judy has been an instrumental part of Mai Lighthouse and before that
Mangere Budgeting, supporting our op shops and food aid for local families.
“Judy currently volunteers two days a week in our shop and in a year makes dozens of pies and jars of jams to provide nutritious and wholesome foods to our community members in need. Judy says, ‘The thought of being paid never crossed my mind. I just wanted to help and mix with people.’”
