📚 Multiple events at the Central Library - check out the programme!
🤣 A comedy workshop for neuro-diverse children and adults
👌 NZSL interpretation - selected shows will be interpreted live (details to come)
And we helped print 1500 of the 3000 programmes, pick one up! 🦇⚡🦖

Plus these events that successfully applied for Creative Communities Scheme funding:
📻 Beagle Radio's 'The Imaginarium' installation encourages voyeurism

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.

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?
