Reach Out * Look Out * Help Out
3 WAYS TO CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS…
• Reach Out - Wave, say ‘Kia Ora!’ or introduce yourself. Welcome new residents to your street when they move in.
• Look Out Help keep your community safe by looking out for your neighbours. If something doesn’t look right let them know or get help if needed.
• Help Out Share any surplus from your garden or fruit trees. Offer to take the rubbish out for someone who needs a hand. Take time to have a chat with someone who lives alone.
There are many ways you can make a difference in your community!
Neighbours that know each other are more likely to offer assistance, accept and ask for help when they need it.
Let’s build a stronger Aotearoa by staying more connected.
