Plastic Bags still required for Bedrolls for Homeless

Julie Williams from Aranui Handiscope

Hello neighbours. I want to say a very big 'Thank you' to all of you who have been dropping your old plastic bags off to me, so our members of Aranui Handiscope can turn them into bed rolls for the homeless. Next week we are doing a hand over to the 'City Mission' and Salvation Army, so they can give the bed rolls to those who really need them. It has been a long time, due to the long process in making them, but we are delighted to be handing some over. We still want any of your plastic bags, so if you have any - can you please drop off to me at 68 shortland st or to St Ambrose Church 309 Breezes Road. Tues - Friday.  We deeply appreciate your support and it has been wonderful to see many people calling into our group on a Tuesday to see how a bedroll is made from the bags - many people have left in amazement and keen to do more. If you can crochet and would like to learn how to make a bed roll, please touch base with us as we want many more people to help us out . If you have any questions you are able to touch base with me. We are wanting any old wool too, as some of our members are going to make small baby blankets for those in need . So we have two lots going to support those in our community. Have  a lovely week and thank you so much for your continued support.  Regards Julie 3884 184 or 027 4518796

Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and it’s got us thinking. We’ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?

What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬

🌉🛶 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?
