We offer everything from a helpline and counselling support through to transport and accommodation during treatment.

Cancer doesn’t stop, and with your help, we won’t either. More New Zealanders will get cancer this year than ever before and no one should face cancer alone. Just $24 helps get someone to treatment. Please give generously this Daffodil Day so we can continue to be a lifeline for people with cancer and their whānau.

Extending the life of older equipment...

Extending the life of existing equipment by rebuilding or refurbishing it can defer major capital expenditure and be a very cost-effective option for your business.

HOWEVER, it may be challenging to fund from cash flow and traditional funders may be reluctant to consider the existing asset as appropriate collateral, impose further security requirements or require repayment over a short period not recognising the life of the asset is being extended.

A specialist funder who understands assets and is able to structure a longer term for you will result in a loan matched to the economic life of the asset; making your monthly payments more manageable and improving cash flow.

Hi!
We're looking for a reliable cleaner to help clean/ co-host our 2 Airbnb apartments in the CBD (both in Emily Place, city)

We're looking for a reliable cleaner to help clean/ co-host our 2 Airbnb apartments in the CBD (both in Emily Place, city)
· We would need you to clean on average 2-4 mornings a week, 1–3 hours per clean (depending on length of stay of guest). You will need availability most days, but you'll be sharing with another cleaner/ co-host, and us, the hosts, so there is flexibility in terms of number of days and which days worked, week to week.
· Cleaning hours are usually from 10am, which is check out. Occasionally check out is later. Apartments need to be ready by 3pm at the latest for the next guest.
· Very occasionally you might have to take home some laundry to dry or wash and dry. If so we will pay you an extra for this.
We'll want you to be able to work collaboratively with others, and follow instructions when given.
We'll give you full paid training and will do the first few cleans with you. You will have a spreadsheet/ instructions to help you when you go solo.
You must be trustworthy - so we'd love you to provide some referees if you can.
We hope you can join us!
Email us on thefeeney5.pf@gmail.com or text on 021455652
Best,
Pete and Nic

Hey Neighbours - I have a bunch of unbroken-down boxes great for moving that I'd love if someone else could reuse! Bonus that there's no need to deal with taping them up. I'm near the Ponsonby Countdown. Send me a msg if you'd like them and we can coordinate! 📦📦📦

Recognising excellence, leadership and innovation in the New Zealand utility sectors, the NZ Compare Awards are back for the 6th year and in response to consumer demand, we have introduced MOBILE Awards for the first time.

As the boundaries between the utility industries continue to blur the organisers have responded to growing demand to increase the categories and industries celebrated by the NZ Compare Awards and will now recognise excellence and achievement within New Zealand’s BROADBAND, ENERGY and MOBILE sectors for the first time.

Award categories are consumer driven and informed by the 300,000 Kiwis who use NZ Compare websites each month. Winning carries real gravitas with the Kiwi consumer and the awards represent an opportunity to be confident in the talent and vision your company has worked so hard towards. This significant event will recognise the companies that provide New Zealanders with the very best products and services across these essential industries.

The NZ Compare Awards are supported by a wide range of companies including Movinghub, Vector Metering, Chorus, realestate.co.nz and Neighbourly. The prestigious awards will recognise the companies that provide New Zealanders with the very best products and services in their industries. With a range of different categories including best home and mobile provider, best customer support, fastest service, best rural provider and best broadband innovation.

Winning an NZ Compare Award depends on a combination of criteria. These include consumer surveys and reviews on the NZ Compare websites and decisions from our expert judging panel.

"Judged by an independent panel of New Zealand experts and presented at our gala awards event, the NZ Compare Awards provide a unique stage on which we recognize and reward the achievements of the New Zealand utility sectors." said Gavin Male, CEO of NZ Compare.

So what do you think? Give a shout out to your favourite utility provider here - not just for doing their job... we want to hear about those that go above and beyond! Who should be a winner?

Handy Man

Karl from Kingsland

Hi there, my name is Karl and I'm as handy as I am honest, decent and respectful.

I have just returned from the UK and I'm currently awaiting a placement on a permaculture farm in Wanganui.

In the meantime I need to get by so I thought I'd post an advertisement on neighbourly.

I have just returned from the UK and I'm currently awaiting a placement on a permaculture farm in Wanganui.

In the meantime I need to get by so I thought I'd post an advertisement on neighbourly.

I'm an experienced Tiler + I have worked several types of construction and landscaping jobs, I'm competent and efficient in painting & decorating, gardening, home maintenance and all things 'hands-on'.

I will be available for the next couple of months until I pursue my next phase of training and occupation on a more earth friendly and sustainable path.
Obviously I could just get a temporary job but I feel that there's more meaning and purpose in being useful in my community using the skills I have to help other people - it also means that I don't have to contribute to any parts of industries that I feel aren't in line with a sustainable future for us all.

Get in touch if there's a job you just don't want to do, I'll take on most types of home maintenance and general renovation jobs - even if you just some help with something, I'd love to get involved.

Take care, speak soon, Karl
