Fantastic prizes up for grabs! Book now!

Vanessa from Bishopdale

Worried about the state of literacy in NZ? It might feel like there's little you can do to help, but YOU CAN make a difference!

Literacy Christchurch is a not-for-profit organisation. We have been involved in helping adults in Christchurch reach their literacy and learning goals since 1977. We run a variety of programmes, including our very successful Learner Licence courses. We'd love to provide more of these courses for adult learners in Christchurch.

On Wednesday 7 August we will be holding our first ever Quiz Night Fundraiser. Please join us for a fun evening quizzing away and be in to win awesome prizes (thank you to our many wonderful sponsors!).

And of course you will get the warm fuzzies of knowing you have made a difference to our community. Driver's Licences are essential for many jobs. Not having a licence can also be a first step on the road to getting into trouble with the authorities. Plus our tutoring skills and literacy experience mean that learners will improve their literacy as well as getting help towards passing their Learner Licences: double the bang for your buck!

Just $15 per person, six people per team (we can help you make a team up if you would prefer) - bring along a few coins as well to help your team's score and to be in the draw for a raffle prize.

We'd love to see you and your team-mates there! (Email us at jenniferalisonleahy@gmail.com or contact us here or via Facebook to secure your place) www.facebook.com...



Hope to see you there!

🌉🛶 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!)

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? 💬

🪱🐦 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?
