National Volunteer Week

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Hey Neighbours,
It's National Volunteer Week from June 17 to June 23, so we're taking the chance to celebrate some of Franklin's awesome volunteers.

Who are some volunteers you know that you think deserve more recognition?

What are some great organisations you think could use more volunteers?

Maybe you're a volunteer yourself - let us know why you chose to become a volunteer, and why you enjoy being it in the comments.

Also, check out one of Franklin's lifesavers who has been volunteering with the Waiuku St John Ambulance service for four years.
Please put NFP if you don't want your comment to be printed.
