Thank you for using Neighbourly
We’re sad to announce that Covid has forced the cancellation of our annual Daffodil Day street appeal. This will have a big impact on our fundraising, so we’re asking those who can to please donate online at daffodilday.org.nz. Thank you for your support Auckland.

Do you or your children need cloth face masks?
My name is Saskia, and I am currently sewing reusable and washable face masks to order. I am a first-year student at Victoria university and got locked in while on a home visit to Auckland. I have sewn and sold masks in previous lockdowns for neighbours as well as a couple of small businesses.
The masks are pleated and adjustable. I can do adult and child sizes, with or without wire, in a range of different colours. I am selling them for $12.50.
I would love to receive more orders for those in the community who are in need of reusable masks now that mask wearing has become mandatory. I am happy to deliver to letterboxes.
Please get in touch if you would like any,
Phone: 027 800 9983
Thanks!

Do you have a disability and rent a private dwelling or own a home in the Auckland region?
I am looking for case studies to interview for a story we are working on.
If you are interested in possibly being involved and would be interested in sharing your own experience, please email danielle.clent@stuff.co.nz
I would love to chat to you and explain in further detail more about this story!
Thank you.
Probably the last month to request one from Auckland Council for planting this year. You can do it via the website or by phone - both aren’t easy. If your neighbour is missing one mention it to them as they may not be a Neighbourly reader.

Her mother saw that the bulb flickered and told her to stop using it. It was too dangerous. They tried to take it back but the antique shop had closed. So it sat there all those years until her mother heard about the Repair Café at Une-Deux through Neighbourly.
Giti, our electronics engineer, found and fixed the faulty wiring not just in the head of the lamp but also in the plug which had a pin missing. So that was replaced too and now the lamp is all safe and sound.
Carol and Giti got to chatting, as you do at a Repair Café, and found out that Giti used to run the lab where Carol sent her samples. That’s another lovely thing about Repair Cafés, they are all about community connection and well as saving stuff from going into landfill.
Une-Deux Cafe at 545 Karangahape Rd holds Repair Cafes on the second Saturday of every month. Hopefully we will be out of lockdown by then. Repair Cafes are supported by DEANZ. doughnuteconomicsnz.com...
