Declutter, Sell, Cash In, Repeat!

Neighbourly from Neighbourly Nz

Spring’s the perfect time to clear out the garage, wardrobe, or that cluttered cupboard and turn your unused goods into cash!

Join the Neighbourly Online Garage Sale on Saturday, September 27th. It’s free, local, and the easiest way to find new homes for the things you no longer need from spare tents and pre-loved books to clothes that deserve another spin.

How it works:
List your items individually before the day. Then, sit back as interested buyers on Neighbourly browse and get in touch directly.

And if you’re not selling?
There’s still treasure to be found! Jump online on the 27th and grab yourself a bargain or two.

Let’s turn clutter into community wins.
Don’t miss out!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
