🌈 Celebrate Community – Mar. 1st to 31st 💙🎉

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all… View more
Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)

Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Sam needs a home!

Kimberley from Glen Eden

Hello neighbours, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend:

Sam is my 11-year old ginger tom cat. He has been with us since he was a kitten back in Hawke's Bay. He's moved with us 5 times and he has always settled in well. He is used to a quiet environment; it's just me and him … View more
Hello neighbours, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend:

Sam is my 11-year old ginger tom cat. He has been with us since he was a kitten back in Hawke's Bay. He's moved with us 5 times and he has always settled in well. He is used to a quiet environment; it's just me and him most of the time. He is happiest when he's cared for gently, and once he trusts you, he is loving and affectionate.

I am looking for a home where Sam is going to be loved as much as we love him. My heart is sore that I have to leave him behind but I have to go to Europe semi-permanently for family reasons.

I am moving out on 10 March.

Evacuations in Redwood Valley, near Nelson, as a fire spreads rapidly

Fiona from Henderson

OMG!!! Not again. Those poor people down in Nelson ☹️
Kind thoughts and lots of prayers are being sent to the firefighters and the locals 🙏
I do know that the dry summer down there isn't helping, but I even more sure that some little firebug toe rag will be contributing to this as well.… View more
OMG!!! Not again. Those poor people down in Nelson ☹️

I do know that the dry summer down there isn't helping, but I even more sure that some little firebug toe rag will be contributing to this as well. The same thing was repeatedly occurring over various places in Europe of the last couple of years. 2017-2018 was particularly bad. It transpired that it was a mix of tourists and couple of locals that started them.
What we really should be using in such big fires like this is the fire fighting planes, either a Canadair CL-415 or even a Bombardier 415 which can scoop water straight from the ocean or even large lakes.
They are far more efficient that helicopters with buckets. Helicopters are perfect from damping down the hot spots while the plane tackles the larger areas.
Some of the fire planes even can drop chemicals which will put out the fire/s very quickly.
