The Joy of Giving - December 1st to 31st đ
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 itâs easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.
Whether itâs 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 âSecret Santaâ 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 youâre giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnât 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?
