The Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our local east Auckland community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero award.
If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community, please email 50 to 100 words describing why they deserve this recognition, highlighting specific actions they’ve taken to benefit our community, with your and their contact details and a high-resolution photo of them if possible, to chrish@times.co.nz.
Be sure to include details about what they’ve been doing, the impact they’ve made, and how long they’ve been involved in these efforts.
The award is sponsored by New World Howick. Recipients will receive a $50 New World gift card and will be featured in our newspaper and on our website.
This week’s recipient is Kate Hallam.
She’s nominated by Louise Nowell, who writes: “Kate Hallam has been leading the Uxbridge Brownies, which is a voluntary job, for around 40 years.
“She dedicates every Saturday morning to the girls and teaching them life skills.
“Kate does it with such dedication and passion and really deserves to be recognised.
“She teaches the girls so much and puts so much effort in. I believe she deserves to be recognised for her amazing efforts.”
