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 October recipient was Tina Bogaard, who was nominated by Sarah Crabb who writes:
“Tina has organised all of the community emergency response in the area and is responsible for ensuring our massive communities are safe across Hunua, Ararimu and Paparimu.
“This has been no small feat, and she has brought on support for external experts to help ensure our community has an emergency plan. She does this while volunteering her time.
“This is such a big job, and Tina does it out of passion for the community and safety. She could be working full-time, but instead she volunteers and is very humble about it. The world needs more people like Tina!”
