Two volunteers celebrated for 25 years of service to Franklin Hospice
Two women who have given a quarter of a century to helping others were celebrated for their work this week.
Gael Coles and Shirley Roberts have been volunteering for Franklin Hospice for 25 years.
They have done a myriad of jobs over the years - sorting and serving in the second hand shop, assisting at events, organising Trees of Remembrance at the supermarkets to help run patient and caregiver support groups, and providing respite care to patients and families - and much more.
These days, Gael and Shirley are most often based at the Pukekohe Hospice shop on King Street in Pukekohe.
If you are interested in helping out at Franklin Hospice, please call 09 2389376.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
