We're hitting the road in the lead up to our 10th celebration of Neighbours Day Aotearoa. As we drive across the country we’ll be running workshops and reaching out to meet people who are working to create great neighbourhoods across New Zealand. These interactive workshops are for anyone planning a Neighbours Day Event, or supporting other people.
Come along, share ideas, and get the support you need to put on a great Neighbours Day Aotearoa event!
Check out our Road Trip page for a list of our confirmed destinations and scheduled workshops, be sure to check back soon as we confirm further workshops. Also! Don't forget to follow us on Facebook to follow our facebook live updates as we hit the road!

On this occasion, our Music Director, Caroline Attard, has decided that the concert will start at 8.00 p.m. but, it should be finished by about 9.30 p.m. I'm sure, as always, it will be a great concert, as we have a lovely varied programme, AND the audience get to sing with us as well during the evening! In case you cannot read the Contact phone number on the attached Poster, the Contact is Jill Willmott on 388 3235. Hope to see you there!
Local emergency services have told us the routes they need to use in the event of an earthquake.
