Raahui Pookeka Community Heroes 2024

Victoria Kemp from Friendship House (Huntly) Community Charitable Trust

'30 days of Raahui Pookeka Community Heroes 2024'

Each day during November we will celebrate and acknowledge 1 of 30 local Raahui Pookeka heroes.

We have many amazing people in our community giving their time to help others and creating a wonderful community to live in, from helping neighbours, volunteering for community organisations, sports clubs and much more. This is a way to show our appreciation.

We need your help to identify and nominate local heroes within the groups you work with.

Nominations are open for local heroes nominations with the closing date 11th October.

Each day in November we will profile a local person identified through the nomination process as a community hero.

Nominations can be made via a google form (please copy and paste below link) or paper copies are available at Friendship House, Huntly West Hub and St John Op Shop.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
