Hi neighbours,

We're right in the thick of this year's Wasp Wipeout and thanks to your generous donations, we've raised over $10,000 for the Tasman Environmental Trust.

Donate now and let's rid Aotearoa New Zealand of this destructive pest.

There are many people in our society who will not be able to afford the capital outlay for these retirement homes but may want to be in a friendly community as they age. Abbeyfield has some answers and it would be a welcome addition to the choices available in Franklin. Are there people in Franklin who would like to set up a group to investigate the possibilities of building an Abbeyfield home in Franklin. Please contact me if you are interested in progressing this idea.
