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.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.
Want to share your thoughts?
