Graeme Dingle Foundation Fundraiser

Mariah from Fairfield

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd try here to generate some interest.
My boss has signed up for the Drop Your Boss 2020 fundraiser for the Graeme Dingle Foundation and we're looking to raise more money to help GDF run some amazing programmes within our community!
As an added incentive for our store, it means he jumps off the Sky Tower if we reach our target which he isn't so keen on.

We have a givealittle page running that is quite frankly looking very sad, and we'd love if our community got involved and helped to give back to a charity that has supported our kids in schools for quite a while now.
Even if we don't reach our goal, 100% of donations goes directly to the Graeme Dingle Foundation and is well worth it!

If you're interested in getting involved and want to know more about the good the Graeme Dingle Foundation does, head to:

www.dinglefoundation.org.nz...

And donate at:

Givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/ever-wanted-to-push-your-boss-off-the-sky-tower

(All donations over $5 are tax deductible).

It's really easy to donate online, and every dollar helps. Thank you!

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
