Kiwibank Local Hero Medalists

The Kiwibank Local Heroes rewards everyday people doing extraordinary things in their local communities and recognises the enormous contribution, sacrifice and commitment of Kiwis who selflessly work to make their local communities a better place. Kiwibank would like you to honour someone you know who is making a contribution to their region, town, suburb, community or local group by nominating them in this award category.

Local Heroes may be involved in business, leadership, voluntary work, community and environmental groups, education, sporting clubs, working with the disadvantaged or have displayed courage in overcoming a personal adversity. Whatever their field of endeavours we need to recognise these unsung heroes and say thank you for their inspiration and contribution.

The Local Heroes Awards will celebrate one national winner at the Gala Awards Presentation Dinner on the 16nd February 2012. This award will also recognise Local Heroes at a regional level by awarding up to 250 Kiwibank Local Heroes medals in 15 regions across New Zealand. Kiwibank Local Heroes medals will be presented at special ceremonies in each of the 15 regions during March 2012.
