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.

WANTED OLD FASHIONED WORKING TWIN TUB WASHING MACHINE

Sandi from Hurunui District

Does anyone have an old F & P TWIN tub washing machine ( or similar)that I can buy please?

My neighbour takes all the water for irrigation and leaves us without enough to make a cuppa sometimes so I had to sell my brand new state of the art automatic washer as it used too much water that we didnt have. I bought a new ( Chinese) twin tub but its fallen apart not up to the job (but better than a rock in a river I suppose in China) so I am wanting to buy an old NZ made one that actually works rather than this new one that just drains all the water out of the washer part every time you spin anything. Its a fault and Haier want more than I paid to fix it so hence the search for an " oldie but goodie" to save the day where I can do the washing in two bowl fulls rather than hundreds of litres ( and hours) with a smart modern one as they are no good as they detect not enough water comng in and shut down and I would come back an hour later expecting it to be done to find it not even started. This hot dry period means I have to use just the two washing up bowl fulls again and I just lost that as this machine's faulty action spun all the water out of the washer instead of the spinner. I curse my damned neighbour everytime I have to do the washing by hand Grrrr!! Can anyone help please?

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:
