In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.

Hi Neighbours,

I’m hoping to go away for 3 weeks however I need someone to live in and look after my lovely friendly middle aged cat named Woodstock.

I’ve not booked any flights yet however I’m looking at leaving on Monday 20th May and returning Saturday 16th June.

I live in Argyll/ Raukawa area in a rustic one bedroomed old Shearer’s quarters. It’s very peaceful, no road noise, greats views, see the stars at night. I do live on a working sheep farm but you won’t need to help out, but there might be sheep in the front paddock.
It does get cold at night however I have a good wood pile.
I do have internet however it’s ADSL and slow but better than nothing.
Mobile reception is very poor or none existent however I do have Landline.

If you would be interested in looking after my beautiful cat for 3 weeks and don’t mind being rural or have any questions please do reply or message me.

Thanks

Leah

🌈 Celebrate Community – Mar. 1st to 31st 💙🎉

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)

Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
