Are you keen to become a Neighbours Aotearoa “Champ"?
Since 2009, Neighbours Aotearoa has been encouraging people to connect at a street level. Whether it's a friendly wave, sharing tea or crops, or hosting a neighborhood gathering - these connections are the building blocks of stronger and more vibrant communities.
We want to grow this movement but we can't do this alone! As a small yet dedicated team, we need your support to reach even more neighborhoods in 2024.
Are you keen to become a Neighbours Aotearoa “Champ"? Your role is simple: spread the message about Neighbours Aotearoa in your community, town, city, neighbourhood, or street.
We've got packs filled with flyers and posters ready to send across the motu. You know your community best, so you can decide where they go.
All you need to do is fill out a quick form, and we'll send a physical pack to your doorstep in early January!
Or tag someone who you think would be keen.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
