Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.

Garden Tidy

That's Handy

Some more before and after photos of the property we worked on a couple of weeks ago, where the client needed an urgent tidy-up to get their property on the market. The goal with this one wasn't a picture-perfect garden, it was to get it in 'tidy-enough' shape to be shown at open home. The transformation is amazing - imagine what we could do if we had more time!!
