What was once Ashburton All Stars has rebranded into Ashburton Local Legends, a monthly initiative to recognise the people and groups going the extra mile in our Shire.
Ashburton Local Legends is a refreshed community recognition program celebrating the everyday people who go above and beyond to support their town.
Formerly known as the Ashburton All Stars, the program has been reimagined to better reflect what really matters here in Ashburton: strong communities, local pride and the people who quietly make a difference every day – what Local Legends!
Each month, one Local Legend from each town will be recognised for their outstanding contribution to community life, whether through volunteering, mentoring, organising, supporting or simply showing up when it counts.
Local Legends are the people who:
- Give their time freely
- Look after others
- Strengthen community spirit
- Make our towns better places to live
Nominations are open all year round, so if you know someone who deserves to be recognised as a Local Legend, we’d love to hear their story. Any age, any good deed – let’s celebrate the legends among us!
