We want to congratulate Sam Johnson on his well-deserved recognition in the 2026 King's Birthday Honours as an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit. 👏

Sam is a familiar friend to us, having served as a Plunket Foundation member and, most recently, as a face representing Plunket to families across New Zealand.

Beyond his connection to us, Sam has given so much to this country, from founding the Student Volunteer Army, mobilising thousands of volunteers in response to disasters, and championing the role of young people in building stronger communities.

Our warmest congratulations to Sam on this thoroughly deserved honour! 🎉

Bonus tip: Keep play areas and driveways separate – or if you can’t, always supervise children and ask visitors to park on the street.

Helmets help protect tamariki from injury as they are learning to explore on wheels. This handy 2-4-1 rule makes sure your child’s head is protected every time they ride their bike, trike or scooter.

Bonus tip: Your child’s helmet needs to be the right size for their head, not one they will grow into.
