Krissy Neighbourly Lead from Tikipunga

Join Alzheimers Northland for a Memory Walk!

September is World Alzheimers Month and your chance to show your support for people and their whānau living with dementia in Aotearoa New Zealand. The Memory Walks help us to remember loved ones, show support for affected families, raise awareness for Alzheimers Northland and can help generate much needed funds. It’s also a great way to honour families and community members that have been or are affected by dementia.

Memory Walks are for all ages and abilities. So, join them for a Memory Walk as part of the NorthCloud Whangarei Run/Walk Festival on Sunday, 15 September 2024, and support people living with dementia!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
