The New Year’s Honours list revealed nine kiwi appointments as Companions of the King’s Service Order and seven awards of the King’s Service Medal. 

Becoming a Dame is Julie Chapman, who is behind long-running charity KidsCan. 

Julie has been given the honour for services to children and the community, having founded KidsCan in 2005 and providing food, clothing and health support for more than 60-thousand children a year. 

She tells Tim Beveridge the honour was a big surprise.
