PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN A PASSION for bringing life into her community has seen Hayley Guglietta recognised as a local hero. Mrs Guglietta has lived in Richmond for 26 years, and last week she was announced as a Kiwibank local hero medal winner. “I feel very proud to receive this award, it is recognition for all the people that have come together in Richmond and central Christchurch to tackle what have been some very tough issues,” she said. Mrs Guglietta and her husband own an IT business in the suburb, called Akiva, and she said the staff at the business support her in her volunteer work. When she isn’t working on the business, she’s busy at Avebury House, helping in the Richmond community garden, volunteering for Alzheimer’s Canterbury and being the chairwoman of the Richmond Business and Residents Association. Mrs Guglietta’s involvement with Alzheimer’s Canterbury came after her mother died after eight years of suffering from the disease. “I wanted to give back and have been a companion volunteer supporting others who are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s in order to help them remain in their homes as long as possible,” she said.

Mrs Guglietta said challenges she has overcome in life are what led her to become involved with Now only $35.80 Plus $5 P&H per copy her community. “I had always wanted to be a successful business person with tonnes of money and the trappings that come with that, but the earthquakes, not being able to have my own family and the journey with my mum’s illness significantly impacted me and completely changed my world view,” she said. Upcoming projects for Mrs Guglietta include work on the Avon River corridor, which will have an interactive kids trial, nature and heritage trails, and a community cafe to provide jobs for locals. “We have just taken ownership of another piece of land called the garden of curiosities where we will grow foods that people eat but may not have ever seen grow such as peanuts, gourds and heritage varieties of vegetables,” Mrs Guglietta said. Mrs Guglietta is also working on a social enterprise to deliver a school education programme based on the importance of pollinators in the environment. “I am pretty excited about the opportunities and projects we have planned for the next few years that will ultimately benefit not just Richmond but all the people of Christchurch,” she said.
