📍 Location: MZ03 Rutherford House, 33 Bunny Street, Pipitea

👚 You can arrange an early drop off with us in the CBD by emailing ncwwlgfinances@gmail.com to arrange a time/location. We've kindly had a bunch of clothing kindly donated from our friends at Dress for Success! If you're bringing items on the day, please bring max 15.

💵 Pay what you can entry, cash and bank transfers accepted. We’ll be donating proceeds to the Wellington Women’s House, who provide low-cost, temporary housing for women on low incomes or in transition: wwbh.org.nz

🛍️ BYO shopping bags.

⚠️ We'll be going ahead in Level 2, so we’ll be adhering to the standard face covering, social distance guidance.

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Central city

Ruth from Aro Valley

Was amused to see in the daily that an inner-city resident thought a Central Park would be good to have in Wellington. Not sure how wise it is to advertise its existence as I do appreciate its peace as opposed to the Botanical Gardens, but yes, we do have a large mature park by that name which is accessible by a shortish walk up Willis Street and onto Brooklyn Hill.

Local Builders for All Types of Work

Bear (Adam) from Minter-Webber Building

Hi There!

I've been lurking on Neighbourly for quite some time now, and I've yet to post. So here it is.

I'm a qualified licensed builder with a small team of tradesmen. We do all manner of residential building work, be it minor repairs or full house builds.

We thoroughly enjoy the work we do, and we aim to do the best we can every time.

Last year we were building three large townhouses near Waterloo Station, and this year we have built numerous decks, done some bathroom and kitchen renovations, a few roofing jobs and various maintenance work.

We are currently in the midst of a fairly complex renovation, and in the coming months we will be starting a large re-clad and window replace job and a new architectural house build.

Anyway, if you're looking for a builder or have any work you'd like to get done, feel free to get in touch.

Cheers!
Bear
