Natalie is running 160 km

Alison Neighbourly Lead from Kamo

To HELP our friends...
The lovely Northlander, Natalie Ganley is fundraising for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue....by running 160km in the Tarawera Ultra Marathon
On 12th February Natalie will be running 160km to support Bay of Islands Animal Rescue (BOIAR) so that they can continue to make an enormous difference in so many lives.

A year ago she adopted their their own Sunny dog from BOIAR. Natalie says “ They do an amazing job, and receive no government funding to support their work. To date BOIAR has re-homed over 3000 dogs as well as hundreds of cats, horses, sheep, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens and even rabbits and alpaca. They also provide an ongoing de-sexing programme as well as educating on how animals should be cared for.”

We believe every animal deserves to be happy, healthy and loved. You can help Natalie by contributing to the care of these vulnerable animals via the Givealittle page here: givealittle.co.nz...

Ka pai Natalie - you're inspirational!

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

MAKING A WILL

Jill Smith from Citizens Advice Bureau Far North (CAB)

LET'S TALK ABOUT MAKING A WILL. Check out these links on who can make a will & what a will should contain - www.cab.org.nz...

If you haven't made a will, we strongly urge you to do so. When a loved one is dealing with grief, and then discovers their partner or family member hasn't made a will, it just adds to an already stressful time. Please check this link out for more information - www.cab.org.nz...

While we at CAB cannot draw up your will, we can help you think about how to go about it.

Give us a call on 09 407 9829 or 0800 367 222. Email us on farnorth@cab.org.nz. Visit us at 6 Cobham Rd., Procter Library Building, Kerikeri.
