Please vote for our Gulf Harbour wee business

Robin from Gulf Harbour

We’re beyond honoured that NEWCREATION (Gulf Harbour) has been named a National Finalist in the 2025 Prospa Local Business Hero Awards! 🌟

👉 Vote here: www.neighbourly.co.nz...
(Just click our name in the poll – it takes 2 seconds!)

Here’s what Amy from Stanmore Bay said when they nominated us:

“This business quietly makes a big difference in the community.
They collect leftover materials from local builders and businesses — things that would usually go to waste — and turn them into creative, hands-on items for families and kids to decorate. And they give them away completely free. No strings attached, just a genuine act of kindness to brighten people’s lives.
On top of that, they create and sell beautiful artwork, using the profits to fund a new mental health initiative that’s focused on making real support more accessible for everyday Kiwis.
It’s clear they’re driven by purpose and heart — especially knowing their own son has just come through remission from leukaemia. Their journey has inspired them to give back even more, and it shows in everything they do.”

If that sounds like the kind of mahi worth celebrating — please vote for us! 🌠 shorturl.at...

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
