Last year the Franklin community pulled together to donate dozens of pairs of pyjamas to kids identified by their schools as being in need.
CAN WE MANAGE IT AGAIN THIS YEAR?
Pyjamas can be left at these Pukekohe drop-off points: Pukekohe Anglican Church, 37 Queen St; TopNotch Engraving, 28 King St; Pukekohe Travel, 89 King St; Bedpost, 7 Wrightson Way; Trailer World Showroom, 123 Manukau Rd.
Working with Middlemore Foundation our goal is to get a new pair of pyjamas to each child before the cold weather arrives and colds and other winter ills increase.
For those who would like to make a donation so we can top up the sizes we need when we get close to our target, the bank account number is ASB 12-3023-0071016-00. Please reference this as 'pyjamas'. Pukekohe Community Action Charitable Trust and the Middlemore Foundation have approved this.
For any further information phone Jan Wallace on 027 452 1366

Combining the high-octane physicality of Korean choreographer KIM Jae Duk’s ‘Sigan’; the powerhouse choreography of renowned Stephanie Lake in ‘If Never Was Now’; with the vibrant aesthetic of New Zealand’s Victoria Colombus in her new world premiere work ‘The Fibonacci’, Kiss The Sky is “…exciting, exhausting, exhilarating – and world class” (Otago Daily Times).
