Natalie is running 160 km

Alison Neighbourly Lead from Kamo

To HELP our friends...
The lovely Northlander, Natalie Ganley is fundraising for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue....by running 160km in the Tarawera Ultra Marathon
On 12th February Natalie will be running 160km to support Bay of Islands Animal Rescue (BOIAR) so that they can continue to make an enormous difference in so many lives.

A year ago she adopted their their own Sunny dog from BOIAR. Natalie says “ They do an amazing job, and receive no government funding to support their work. To date BOIAR has re-homed over 3000 dogs as well as hundreds of cats, horses, sheep, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens and even rabbits and alpaca. They also provide an ongoing de-sexing programme as well as educating on how animals should be cared for.”

We believe every animal deserves to be happy, healthy and loved. You can help Natalie by contributing to the care of these vulnerable animals via the Givealittle page here: givealittle.co.nz...

Ka pai Natalie - you're inspirational!

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.
