Random Acts of Kindness – August 1st to 31st 💖

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

5th August : the big day! 5:00 p.m at Greytown Fire Station,

You are invited to a wedding and a “book launch”. Dress optional but preferred.

We request the pleasure of your company to witness the nuptials of WAG and FOW who are coming together to implement your vision for the Waiohine. This is the third and last reading of the banns of marriage. Should anyone know and just cause or impediment to these two fine groups of passionate hard working volunteers coming back together in wedded bliss under the surname WAG, speak now, or forever hold your peace. We’re setting up the best way to manage and implement the Waiohine River Plan, incorporating Floodplain Management Plan to make our river, safe, beautiful and bountiful for future generations. It offers the best way to share and communicate and choose how you want to be involved in which bits of your river plan and the beautiful river in the future.

We’ve been piling in the hours. The “not yet a draft plan” will also be “book launched” at the same meeting, along with more of the proposed map set. Everyone will be able to get their hands on the not quite finished story and information. We’re also hoping to re-engage with key stakeholder groups over the next month or two and have them critique the not yet a draft pan to see how it reflects their input and vision. This means that whilst we carry on adding to, improving and tidying up the draft over the next few months, you get in on the act of reading it, discussing it and giving us feedback on it, to help us get it as good as it can be ready for becoming a formal draft for the submissions process. We’ll explain what this means on the night, how you can get hold of a copy online from the 5th, download and print etc., compare to all the charts and maps and stuff we’ve posted up and shared with everyone over the last 2.5 years (yeah, we know, it’s been emotional but worth it). It will be nice to share all this and hear what you have to say.

No telegrams, solid silver, precious stones and cash wedding gifts will be accepted though. The bride and groom will depart before 7:00 guests are welcome to remain and apply to join the worthy Greytown Fire Brigade.
