Nominate A Local Hero That Needs Support

July 25, 2024 by Roxane Manley

Do you know of a community member who deserves recognition and support? If you do, we encourage you to nominate them to win free Jim’s Group services.

Aussies are doing it tough at the moment.

The cost-of-living crisis is hurting a lot of people and yet despite this many people continue to soldier on helping out others across the local community demonstrating incredible kindness, fortitude and selfless­ness.

Jim Penman, founder and head of the nation’s largest franchise group, the Jim’s Group, wants to help our nation’s local he­roes and he has launched a Local Heroes Program to give back to people who are struggling and acknowledge and reward them for their incredible contributions to the community.

The Jim’s Local Heroes Program is an extraordinary initiative that will give away over $100k worth of services this year to struggling Aussies across the country. The program is being delivered nationwide with members of the community invited to nomi­nate a local hero who is doing it tough and deserves recognition and support.

The program officially kicked off in Mel­bourne and is now being rolled out across the entire country. Local heroes will receive any type of Jim’s Group service that they need. Every week, one winner will receive up to $2,000 worth of Jim’s Services. The program is being described as life chang­ing.

“We are proud to help out Aussies in need and we are calling on people to nomi­nate a local hero who deserves a helping hand and would benefit from the donation of Jim’s Group services,” Penman said.

“The Jim’s Group comprises over 50 di­visions including lawn mowing, cleaning, painting, bathroom renovations and plumb­ing, landscaping and much more. With our broad and wonderful range of highly rated services and amazing group of fran­chisees, we are looking forward to helping out Aussies in need.”

The giveaway also includes Jim’s Health­care services which launched this month.

Nominations are now open for the com­munity to nominate via https://jims.net/jimslocalheroes/
