A Neighbourly New Year Tip #5 - Keep it private
Did you know you have a Neighbourly inbox? If you'd like to contact a neighbour on Neighbourly directly, you can send them a private message. This is a great way to send confidential information (such as your mobile number or email) or to have conversations you'd like to keep away from your Neighbourly noticeboard. It's also a great way to directly contact local organisations, businesses or media!
______
How to send a private message:
* Locate the neighbour you wish to send a message to in your Neighbours Directory or on your noticeboard and click their name to visit their profile
* Click the MESSAGE button below your neighbour's profile picture
* Enter a subject and message and click send!
