This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

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

When a freak tornado destroyed homes and claimed a life in Papatoetoe, kind-hearted neighbours stepped in to support each other.

From offers of help and donations of food, to stories of everyday heroes who worked for free to help repair homes - neighbours and local businesses stepped in to lend a hand.

As a thank you, Stuff, in conjunction with Neighbourly, is hosting a community BBQ for those affected.

Please join us at Puhinui Domain, this Sunday 4 July at 12pm, for an opportunity to chat, meet your neighbours and share some kai.
