Where: Channel View Lounge, Mary Thomas Centre, 3 Gibbons Road, Takapuna

Hosted: ANCAD in partnership with Denise Bijoux, Catalyse

Guest Speaker: Dr Angela Doherty, Principal Science Adviser, Auckland Emergency Management

In these changing times, most of us realise that local resilience is increasingly important in times of disaster.

ANCAD is proud to be working with the Devonport Takapuna Local Board, Auckland Emergency Management and local people to plan how our local areas can be more resilient.

The focus is on four major areas:

Reduction of risks from hazards;

Readiness, awareness, preparedness and understanding;

Response to manage disasters; and

Recovery from disasters

What are the risks in your area? How can you and your local community be better prepared for disasters? And how might you manage and recover from disaster?

Save the date to join us, hear more and begin planning to improve local resilience for your community.

Please RSVP for catering purposes to info@ancad.org.nz 094864820

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? 🍫

What’s your go-to move for a bumper harvest? Drop your best "glut" recipes or preservation hacks in the comments below! 👇

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
