Thank you for using Neighbourly
Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)
If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.
Did you know that a significant amount of Government funding is based on Census data?
Northland District Health Board is paid per unit of population.
Funds for water and sewerage subsidies and critically roading subsidies are paid on a deprivation index and population data.

Northland District Health Board is paid per unit of population.
Funds for water and sewerage subsidies and critically roading subsidies are paid on a deprivation index and population data.
For any number of reason thousands of people choose not to participate in census but this means we are missing out!
Missing out on critical funding we need to ensure that we can meet the basic needs of our community.
This is my person post to ask that we all compete the census and spread this important message so that everyone understand how critically important this is to everyone in our community.
Census date is 6 March. Thank you for reading and sharing on your networks. ☺

From weeks on end of blistering hot days to calamitous cyclones, we've pretty much had it all this summer. The extreme temperatures in some parts are in stark contrast to other storm-battered coastal zones Tell us how summer's been in your area.

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?

There are lots of awesome events happening in neighbourhoods around Aotearoa for Children’s Day, Sunday 4 March. Check out what’s on near you. If you don’t head along to an event, remember the most important thing you can give tamariki is your time and aroha!
More Kiwis are cutting back on meat; more farmers are noticing the downturn. So what part does meat play in your diet?
