Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st š„³š
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 isnāt the houses and cars, gardens and streets - itās 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 takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This yearās theme is āSmall Things Make a Big Differenceā - we couldnāt agree more!
Let us know how youāre celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:
