Know a Local Legend? Let’s Celebrate Them!

Neighbourly Team

In every neighbourhood, there’s someone who goes the extra mile, mowing lawns for the elderly, running the kids’ footy team, or simply being the first to lend a hand. These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.

Now’s the time to give them the recognition they deserve.
Celebrate your local hero today, whether it’s a teacher, a coach, a caregiver, or the neighbour who’s always there when it counts. We’re shining a light on the everyday legends making a difference in towns, suburbs, and rural corners across Aotearoa.

Let’s make sure even the quietest champions get the loudest applause by sharing our legends on the Neighbourly Noticeboard!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
