The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

So instead of responsibly disposing this off, you choose to chuck it on a pedestrian walk way! Even worse you let the peices scatter next to a primary school where kids walk and run!

I am only complaining? No you irresponsible civilian. I'll go there with a pair of gloves, a broom and a bag … View moreSo instead of responsibly disposing this off, you choose to chuck it on a pedestrian walk way!
