How great would it be to have a good relationship with your neighbours?

Neighbourhood Support North Shore

Everyone has had good neighbours, and ones they’d gladly swap.
There are the neighbours who share their abundant tomato crop, bring in abandoned wheelie bins and quickly cast a whipper snipper across an overgrown verge.

Everyone has had good neighbours, and ones they’d gladly swap.
There are the neighbours who share their abundant tomato crop, bring in abandoned wheelie bins and quickly cast a whipper snipper across an overgrown verge.

The best neighbours are there at two o’clock in the morning when the alarm in a random parked car has been blaring for the past hour. Or at four o’clock in the afternoon when hail the size of oranges has smashed all the windows in your house…

How well do you know your neighbours?
But sadly – for many of us – our neighbours are people who we say hi to a couple of times a week, have a conversation with once in a blue moon, but wouldn’t feel comfortable asking a favour of. You only need to look at the proliferation of pet minding businesses to know neighbourliness could do with a boost. And just think how much school gate congestion could be avoided if we all started carpooling to drop the kids at school?

Celebrate with your local community on Neighbour's Day this March,
Whether you’re an individual, a group, or a business, whether you live in a house, or an apartment building, a flat, or something else entirely you can host a Neighbours Day Aotearoa event and connect with your community….
check out the Neighbours day website on neighboursday.org.nz... and perhaps start a conversation on Neighbourly with close neighbors in your area about ways to better connect/share resources or improve the envinroment of your community!

Finally think about starting a Neighbourhood Support Group and meet your immediate neighbours! neighbourhood.org.nz...
