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 recipient is Glenys Taupo, nominated by Ririana, who writes:
“I proudly nominate Glenys Taupo as a Franklin Community Hero. Her tireless mahi with
Tuwhera Trust has brought hope and aroha to countless whānau in our community, whether
through kai parcels for those in hardship, support groups for those facing addiction, or uplifting and empowering rangatahi.
“Glenys creates a space of manaakitanga, strength, and community at the Waiuku Community Space. She leads with humility, passion, and heart. A true advocate, a quiet achiever, and a taonga to our community.”
