Introducing our AMI Community Grant Finalists

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This is day number four of showcasing two of our AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

Crimewatch (Chch) Inc
We patrol schools, parks and areas where the public frequently visit in Christchurch, helping to keep the public safe from crime. We are expanding our reach and our fleet of vehicles because we have the opportunity to run a lot more activities that help support the well being of the whole community. As we are a non-profit organisation we do require funding to pay for fuel and other vehicle expenses to keep our fleets running to an excellent standard. We really appreciate all donations. VOTE NOW!

AED Defibrillator for Churchill Park School
We need to buy an outside AED Defibrillator to put up at Churchill Park School. There are so many sport organisations that use the school and large numbers of walker, joggers and cyclists use the local park and surrounding streets so this is also a essential item not only for the school but the surrounding community. The cost to purchase this is around $3,500 and we would love AMI community Grants to help support this. VOTE NOW!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.

While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
