Pyjamas needed for our local children who are in need

Jan from Pukekohe

CAN WE DO IT !
OF COURSE WE CAN !
IF WE WORK TOGETHER.



These pyjamas go direct to the children in our community who have been identified

as needing them now.



We have seen many times before just how generous the people of Pukekohe are.

As we all know, the nights are getting colder and there are 213 children who have been identified by their teachers as being in need of a pair of nice warm pyjamas to keep them warmer on these cold nights.

We are very grateful for the generous donations we have received to date.

Here are numbers and sizes of pyjamas that we are currently short of.

Pyjamas can be left at Franklin County News, Pukekohe Travel or Pukekohe Anglican church or text Jan on 0274521 366 and we will arrange for them to be collected. Maybe you could collect some for us at your office or place of work or amongst your friends.

Thank you for supporting our local community as we try to keep our children warm and out of hospital.

This project is the Middlemore Foundation run in conjunction with our Franklin Health Locality, Pukekohe Community Action and Pukekohe Anglican Church plus our wonderful community.

MANY MANY THANKS

A Valentine’s-inspired wedding dress show at Ryman Healthcare’s Logan Campbell Village is providing the perfect opportunity for residents to share memories of their romantic day.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
