Two competitions have been running on the sidelines of the usual Neighbourly activity and what better time to announce the lucky and well deserving winners than the week before Christmas!

- We joined forces with Electric Kiwi in order to hunt for a truly Awesome Neighbour. And we did just that, infact we found 4 incredible Neighbourly neighbours. Click here to see who won an Awesome Neighbour prize and read their Awesome story!

- We also teamed up with SuperValue to run the Christmas Survival Guide challenge. We asked Neighbourly members to tell us their Christmas Survival tip, click here to find out whose tip came out on top, to be selected to win a $100 SuperValue voucher.

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?
