Can you help volunteer in our Manukau SPCA Op Shop?

The Team from

EXCITING NEWS! We will be able to reopen our new Manukau Home Store specialty Op Shop in the neighbourhood very soon, located at 65F Cavendish Drive, Manukau.

CAN YOU HELP? We are need of additional support with more volunteer applications, helping out with the day-to-day operations alongside our great, supportive team once we are able to open the store safely. Our Manukau store will be open and operating a full 7 day week, including Sundays. If you have some spare time or want to try something new, we'd love to hear from you.

Keep your eyes out in coming weeks for more announcements of our opening date!

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? 🍫
