Joseph Parker won the WBO heavyweight belt in 2016. South Auckland health charity Middlemore Foundation said it was standing by Parker, who has been an ambassador for the past three years. “We stand with Joseph,” the charity’s chief executive Sandra Geange said. “We have worked closely with Joseph over the past three years, and we have seen the positive impact he has made in south Auckland through our work in the community.” Geange said Parker had been “tireless” in his support of the Counties Manukau people. “We look forward to continuing our association with him for years to come,” Geange said.

Middlemore Foundation CEO Sandra Geange says the Air New Zealand items will be distributed to people in the community who need it the most. The donation of the crockery, amenity kits, bedding and kids’ inflight packs from Air New Zealand is a very kind gesture especially around Christmas time when people need even more support. We will get these items straight out to tamariki and whÄnau in need in South Auckland. Massive thanks and appreciation to the team at Air New Zealand!
Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty says the idea to donate the surplus goods came from the airline’s staff.
