The Great Community Clean Up is all about taking ownership of the places we live and love - our neighbourhoods. It doesn't need to be anything big; picking up a little litter in your street, tidying up your favourite park, or removing bits and bobs from a nearby beach are all great events! Plus, register an event between 27 April and 3 May you could WIN great prizes.
So grab your flatmates, your kids, your neighbour or your whole street and head to a place that you love in your community and make a difference. Your contributions will help make your community a cleaner and happier place to live! #CleanUpNZ

See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

If you did something with your neighbours and get a sudden urge to share it with us then don't fight that urge!! Share your story with us by emailing kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz, sharing to our facebook page, or submitting your story on our website. We LOVE seeing all the fun times and knowing that we're getting a little closer to knowing our neighbours and connecting with our communities. AND you don't have to wait till Neighbours Day 2018 to do it again. You can go say hi, invite them for a cuppa, or do a street bbq anytime. It makes a massive difference to our sense of belonging, safety and being part of a more resilient community.
Have a heart of gold and support the St John Annual Appeal 3-9 April.
The heart is the essence of life and has inherently warm and caring connotations. It also reflects the good that St John does in the community, and invites those who contribute to feel like they too have a heart of gold.
