Volunteers and donations needed!
St John has always had a strong community presence in Hamilton which has recently increased thanks to the opening of a new opportunity shop in Frankton. The local community has rallied behind this venture, supporting it with donations and shop fittings.
Proceeds from items sold in the shop will be used to support St John emergency ambulance services and community programmes such as Health Shuttles, Caring Caller and St John Youth programmes. St John Opportunity Shop is currently recruiting volunteers and seeking donations of items that can be sold in the shop. Donations can be dropped off at 1 Rawhiti Street, Frankton.
From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
