Hello neighbours
Are you a part of a Neighbourhood Support group in your street? Statistics show that less crime occurs in streets with active Neighbourhood Support groups and neighbours who know eachother fare better in emergencies.
Neighbourhood Support is different from Neighbourly in that we are a separate organisation - we're an affiliate of Neighbourhood Support New Zealand. We are a non-profit and membership is free (and always will be!)
We'll provide you with free advice, training and resources as well as crime reports; emergency preparedness and safety information so you can stay updated and informed.
If you'd like to start or join a group, please reach out to the coordinator at 073761601, email nstaupo@outlook.com or join us online: taupo.getsready.net...

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
