Beautification Trust Gives Massive Support Boost to Empower South and East Auckland Communities

Louise Beuvink from Beautification Trust

Today we launched FOUR new initiatives to help empower South and East Auckland communities to lead their own successful environmental and sustainability projects! Read more: bit.ly...

At our new Community Tool Library, locals can borrow tools free of charge for their own environmental and beautification projects.

To help cover the cost of environmental and beautification projects, our newly established Tiaki Fund offers grants of up to $1,000.

Free compost is available to South and East Auckland residents and groups through our new Community Compost initiative.

Creator Space is our newly refurbished workshop and classroom facility available to hire for teaching sustainable practices and environmental education.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
