The Joy of Giving - December 1st to 31st ๐ŸŽ

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year itโ€™s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether itโ€™s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a โ€˜Secret Santaโ€™ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how youโ€™re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Itโ€™s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Canterbury "summer" has felt a bit wet this year! Weโ€™ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately ๐ŸŒง๏ธ In fact, the Post reports that Christchurch experienced almost double our usual!

While the forecast is looking bright for this weekend (fingers crossed!), we aren't out of the woods ... there are a few more cold fronts lining up before winter hits.

We want to hear from you: What are your go-to rainy-day activities? Whether youโ€™re a local legend at the indoor courts or a professional movie-marathoner, share your secrets with us!
