Supporting Local Businesses.

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Hi there,
If you have a few minutes a week to support a Local Business, please do so. You can do any of the things on this docket or anything else you like to do to encourage interaction going in their direction.
Would love for people to post some recommendations of local companies or people who are in business on this post.
#timetoshoutout
Thanks to all those who support others.
PS: Remember if you see a post on a Facebook business page and you want to give it some organic advertising, simply clicking on the heart or face emoji helps hugely. The thumbs-up is nice but gives no organic points for google to use to put that business front and centre when people are searching.
Happy Nearly Weekend Everyone!
Kind regards Rhonda Diprose
Funeral Celebrant in the Lovely Hawke's Bay

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
