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 80 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 helena@times.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.
This week’s recipient is Hira McClutchie, nominated by Kristy Taurua-Kite, who writes:
“Hira is a powerhouse in our community, relentlessly driving the local combat sports scene forward. Having successfully coordinated two high-energy fight shows, he’s proven his knack for creating platforms where athletes can shine.
“Through his gym, Deepsouthakl, Hira provides a dedicated home for everyone—from those starting a fitness journey to seasoned fighters hungry for the ring. His commitment extends beyond the gym walls, too; by leading free training groups in local parks, he makes health and discipline accessible to all.”
