This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!

Dying to help: would-be rescuers urged to think before they leap

Barbara Venville-Gibbons from Drowning Prevention Auckland

The successful execution of a water rescue last week highlights the importance of ‘safety first’ before attempting a rescue and only entering with water with some form of flotation.

The successful execution of a water rescue last week highlights the importance of ‘safety first’ before attempting a rescue and only entering with water with some form of flotation.

Since 1980, 93 people have drowned while trying to save another person. Typically it is the person in trouble that survives, and the would-be rescuer that drowns.

Most of these people would still be alive today if they followed this one piece of advice; only enter the water if you have some form of flotation. You don’t see lifeguards attempting a rescue without equipment.

Providing flotation to a person interrupts the drowning process buying valuable time to either plan how to get the person back to shore, or wait until rescue services arrive.
