Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st š„³š
This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isnāt the houses and cars, gardens and streets - itās the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This yearās theme is āSmall Things Make a Big Differenceā - we couldnāt agree more!
Let us know how youāre celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship ā like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

51.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
32.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
