Two volunteers celebrated for 25 years of service to Franklin Hospice

Sapeer Mayron Reporter from Franklin County News

Two women who have given a quarter of a century to helping others were celebrated for their work this week.

Gael Coles and Shirley Roberts have been volunteering for Franklin Hospice for 25 years.

They have done a myriad of jobs over the years - sorting and serving in the second hand shop, assisting at events, organising Trees of Remembrance at the supermarkets to help run patient and caregiver support groups, and providing respite care to patients and families - and much more.

These days, Gael and Shirley are most often based at the Pukekohe Hospice shop on King Street in Pukekohe.

If you are interested in helping out at Franklin Hospice, please call 09 2389376.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
