Free help for flood-affected businesses and neighbours...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We’re thinking of our neighbours and small businesses affected by the flooding across Auckland. While it’s heartbreaking to see our communities struggle through another significant, disruptive event, we’re also seeing our members band together to support each other.

We’re thinking of our neighbours and small businesses affected by the flooding across Auckland. While it’s heartbreaking to see our communities struggle through another significant, disruptive event, we’re also seeing our members band together to support each other.

Here’s a few ways Neighbourly can help right now…

IF YOU'RE A SMALL BUSINESS:
- we're giving small businesses affected by the flooding a free 3-month Premium Business Listing. Simply follow this link and follow the steps to set up your profile.

IF YOU'RE NEEDING SUPPORT:
- share a few words on Neighbourly to let your neighbours know how they can help you or someone you know
- get in touch with the Neighbourly team if we can help spread the word about anything you're doing in the community - or if you're involved with a community group that's needing some support

IF YOU CAN HELP YOUR COMMUNITY:
- share a few words on Neighbourly to let your community know how you can support them. Remember no offer is too small - even just offering to be the friendly voice of support on the other end of the phone can help a neighbour feeling overwhelmed or isolated
- consider sharing resources or information you have found helpful at this time on Neighbourly
- check on your neighbours but do not put yourself in danger doing so. If you feel there is any risk consider sending them a message through your Neighbourly inbox

Amazing stories come out of the toughest times. There are hundreds of stories of good humans helping one another emerging after the severe weather and flooding recently battered the Northland, Auckland, Waitomo and the Coromandel recently.

So we’ve created Flooded with Love - a space to recognise our people: those who helped with the clean up, rescued a pet (or a neighbour), pushed cars out of water, directed traffic, loaned out equipment, shared shelter, or simply stopped for a supportive chat or a cup of tea.

Help us tell these stories and recognise the goodness that exists in our communities.

Looking for somewhere to live

Wendy from Remuera

A couple who have lost their home in Mt Eden area due to flooding are looking for a rental preferably in Mt Eden/Epsom area so their 8yr old daughter can still attend the same school. They also have a cat.
They are currently staying with very kind neighbours but of course this is only temporary.

A couple who have lost their home in Mt Eden area due to flooding are looking for a rental preferably in Mt Eden/Epsom area so their 8yr old daughter can still attend the same school. They also have a cat.
They are currently staying with very kind neighbours but of course this is only temporary.
It will take sometime for the insurance to be sorted and find another house to buy.
They realise there will be a number of people in the same situation however if you know of anyone who may have suitable accommodation who are happy to accept a pet can you please let me know.
Jenny & Chris would be very appreciative.
Perhaps now is the time for ghost house owners to put those houses into the rental market to help all the displaced Aucklanders ......

Bonjour everyone, First of all i hope you are all safe.
How many times i heard people saying '' my dream is to play guitar but it's too late for me etc. ? or it's not for me, i'm useless, too hard etc. '' No excuse now, don't worry, i'm here ha ha 🙂.
I am self taught Guitar player, i don't know the solfege guitar but of course i know chords, basics + heaps of tips to have fun and relearn cool songs. My motivation on learning guitar has always been being able to reproduce , play my favourite songs from the radio and of course connect, share with others and jam wherever you are on the panet.
I do play classic and acoustic (a bit of electric), finger style picking and mediator, if you are stuck somewhere in your early learning or demotivated i'm happy to help you to get this other type of magic and love to reappear, whatever age you are.
50$ per hour and a bit for private lesson at yours or mine or around Orakei area.
Merci, don't be shy et hopefully a tres bientot,
mob: 0211822284
You can do it 🙂
