Can you help with our pyjama drive to keep Franklin kids warm and healthy this winter?
So far we have distributed 376 pairs of pyjamas to the lowest-decile schools in our area. These are given to students who their schools have identified to be most at risk of the winter illnesses. We are not there yet.
The major shortages are for girls' sizes 6, 8 and 10 and boys' sizes 10, 12 and small men's. The nights are getting colder and we are hoping to get these out soon.
In Pukekohe, pyjamas can be left at St Andrew's Anglican Church, 43 Queen St; Top Notch, King St; Pukekohe Travel, King St; Bed Post, Wrightson Way; and Trailer World Manukau Rd.
In Waiuku, pyjamas can be left at ASB Bank, Queen St.
If you would like to donate cash so we can fill in some of the gaps this can be deposited in the Pukekohe Community Action Charitable Trust account at the ASB 12-3023-0071016-00

Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:

- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions

With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.

The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.

Have a great long weekend!
