As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

The theme, Out of Place, was chosen by festival organisers to give the capital’s eateries inspiration for the month-long event which will take place in August. The organisers hope the restaurants will transport their guests to far-flung destinations with their international offerings.
Diners will also be able to go back in time. Daisy’s is set to celebrate Aunt Daisy, the well-known radio personalty who has been called New Zealand’s first foodie. Rita’s has been inspired by the dinners of early Pākehā settlers with their event Colonial Goose.
Katherine Mansfield’s childhood home will host guests, as will the Interislander, with restaurant Shepherd hosting a multi-course meal onboard the Kaitaki to recreate the golden age of travel.
Pink, red, yellow, climbing, rambling, oh so beautiful they are. New Zealand's rose breeders and specialist nurseries have such a treat for you. Pictured here is 'My Sweetheart' from Matthews Nurseries, and there's lots more. Sit back and enjoy.
This is certainly one of the more obvious errors in a child’s writing. Knowing which one to use can be confusing.
Dear neighbours,
It's taken seven years, but it was worth the wait. Have you tried them?
Sutherland Rd residents are fed up with stones and loose tar.

Lisa Blackmore knows more about road tar than a registered nurse rightly should. Foe the last six months she has been complaining about resealing that occurred six months ago.
She received a response from the council’s chief infrastructure officer, Tom Williams, who said Wellington City provided a “much higher level of service” for road resurfacing than the rest of New Zealand, which also meant it cost more.
He believed the correct surface had been put on the road, but there were “issues with the treatment outcome”.
Have you had any problems with your street.

"I am super sweet and thanks to my amazing foster family, I am used to dogs, cats and children.
I will need to be adopted to a home with an existing female rabbit, so if you have a lonely rabbit, maybe we could be friends. I will need a weather-proof hutch, with a run for day time. At night, I will need a space inside your home. it can be a room, or a hutch, but some where I can spend time with the family.
If this sounds like your set up, please be in touch with my care givers to make an appointment to meet me."

I realise it is not Wednesday but on such a special day, I thought I would ask Neighbourly users for their memories.
Did you ever meet him or do you have a story about our greatest New Zealander?

"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"

I have been working successfully in the area of de-cluttering, organising and downsizing for the last 8 years.
I am looking for clients to trial a smart new weekly or fortnightly service working one on one with me. For this trial I am offering a lower hourly rate of $25.
I have taken down my website while I redesign my business - however there are plenty of very happy clients who will vouch for my excellent work.
I know it can be difficult inviting someone new into your home - especially if you feel overwhelmed by how your home is. But I am compassionate, understanding, and I never judge - ever. For most clients any awkwardness or embarrassment passes during the first few hours - to be replaced with relief.
I absolutely love helping and seeing the burden lifted.
Please do feel free to call or text me to discuss possibilities on 021 1769377. Or email lesleyk@slingshot.co.nz
Thank you - Lesley

The generosity of Kiwis has now secured the land's future as a public conservation park.
Further donations will help the trust restore the land to its former forested glory.
