The Neighbourly team recognises the value of the site for assessing community need and for this reason, we have a number of features perfect for election purposes.

Any campaigning should take place away from the general noticeboard. We've got a few options to help ensure your message is getting out to Neighbourly members. We'd suggest starting your own group on Neighbourly - this is a great way to connect with those who want to get updates about your candidacy.

We also have business profiles available for all candidates if you would like your messages to appear on the Neighbourly noticeboard. As well as this, we have special Neighbourly Advertising rates for election candidates. Get in touch with us to find out more.

Already an elected official? Neighbourly also offers all elected officials the option of creating an organisation profile to connect with those in their electorate - although these profiles should not be used for campaigning.

If you have any questions or need any assistance then let us know!

I bet you'd like to know why and how I gave up a life of homelessness and stayed 11 months off all substances. I am a walking, talking example of what homeless can do when people give us an opportunity and care.

Want to find out how I changed? Want to see how you can support others to make such positive change? Then join the Lifewise Big Sleepout Rotorua!

Help me help other homeless people to empower themselves, get off the streets, and say "I am worthy, I can do anything once given a chance."

Join me and sign up today to raise funds for this mahi, "sleep rough" for one night at our local Village Green on the night of 5th September 2019.

If this cold snap is getting to you but you're worried about the cost of cranking up your heating, don't despair.

We asked the energy experts to breakdown the running costs of all our favourite winter warmers, so you can work out how to get the best heating bang for your buck.

And while it's no shock that firing up a 2Kw electric heater doesn't come cheap, the price of a warm bed for a toasty night's sleep might surprise you. Check out the full rundown, including electric blankets, hot showers, heated towel rails and more, here.
