In the first year of the Westfield Local Heroes program, we have received an overwhelming response and many heart-warming stories after asking the local community to nominate individuals who they believe promote social wellbeing and harmony in their communities.

We congratulate every one of our nominees and finalists, and recognise the important contribution they make to the local community.

A $10,000 grant is awarded to the affiliated organisation of each of the three Westfield Local Heroes nominated and voted for by the Christchurch community.

Your three Westfield Riccarton Local Heroes for 2018 are:

Mana Harema: La Vida Youth Trust

Charlotte Pawson: ParaFed Canterbury

Robyn Twemlow: Tourettes Association New Zealand

Celebrating all our Westfield Local Heroes, finalists and nominees.
