Hohepa New Homes on Barrington St
Hi neighbours, we thought you might enjoy hearing some good news from the Hohepa Canterbury community.
We are excited that our fundraising campaign to build two new homes for the people we support with intellectual disability is now half-way to our target of $2.2 million! We are absolutely thrilled to announce an incredible gift of $500,000 from local Christchurch-based trust, the Lamar Charitable Trust.
Lamar Charitable Trust has a mission to provide financial support for disability organisations in need. This is truly a life-changing gift to our community. We look forward to building the two new homes, and welcoming a further 12 people with intellectual disability to join our Hohepa community, which will help reduce our current waiting list.
With the challenges we have all been facing, in adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is testament to the good in the world. Please share to spread the good news!

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
