Wellington regions Local Heroes honoured for services to the community

Everyday people doing exceptional things were the toast of the town tonight (Monday) as the Wellington region honoured its very own Local Heroes.

As part of the Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards 2015, the 20 winners of the Local Heroes category were presented with their awards at a special medal presentation ceremony at Kiwibank Head Office in Wellington.

Mayor Celia Wade-Brown was on hand to present the medals. She congratulated the recipients on their award and said that it was vital that communities continued to acknowledge the contributions they made.

Many of these medal winners are unsung heroes whose selflessness has had a profound effect on the lives of so many. Those acts of optimism and commitment are what hold a community together, she said.

Tonights ceremony starts at 5.30pm at Kiwibank Head Office in Wellington.

The recipients of the Kiwibank Local Heroes Awards for the Wellington region are:
