Franklin Local Board member, 22, honoured for community effort amid pandemic
Kia ora neighbours,
Do you know this local hero?
A 22-year-old who spent the Covid lockdowns helping to get his community vaccinated has been named Young Elected Member of the Year.
Franklin Local Board member Logan Soole, 22, leapt into action to serve his community when the nation first went into lockdown in March 2020.
But he said there was nothing unique about it.
“There was so much mahi to do and I just saw there were places where I could help.”As well as being on the local board and holding a job at Blueliners Entertainment, Soole is on the board of trustees of Pukekohe High School and volunteers for his local community patrol.
“Community is the best at looking after community,” he said.“Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. They know their community, they know the need, they understand the issues and they’ve done it before."
