Looking for volunteers for our Remembrance Tree Appeal

Amandeep from Te Puna

We are looking for interested helpers – from individuals, to clubs, teams and or workmates to help people in our community write messages for loved ones that can't be with them this Christmas in exchange for a donation. If you have a few hours to spare in November and/or December and would like to spend them doing something rewarding, we invite you to sign up to help us look after our Remembrance Trees.

We are looking for friendly, positive people to help others in our community leave a special message for a loved one in several different locations.
Choose a date, time and place that suits you by simply completing the registration form on our website.

Thank you for your support.


What is the Remembrance Tree Appeal?

Everyone has memories of loved ones they have lost or who can’t be with them during the holiday season. Every Christmas we have Remembrance Trees specially put up around the community. For a small donation you and your family and friends can write a special message to share with loved ones or those that can’t be here with you this Christmas.

Look out for our Remembrance Tree’s in your area – or get involved and Volunteer.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
