How can I invite my neighbours to join?
Making your neighbourhood as strong as it can be is the job of everyone within the neighbourhood. A big part of this process is inviting your neighbours to join Neighbourly.
There are many ways to invite your neighbours to join Neighbourly directly through the Neighbourly website.
Using your computer you can:
Send email invitations
Send free invitation letters, posted by Neighbourly on your behalf
Print fliers and other printed material
Send a link via your own email provider or post a message on Twitter or Facebook
To easily view all of your options for inviting your neighbours, just click the INVITE button in the top right corner of your neighbourhood website, and select the option you'd like to explore.
Using your Neighbourly app you can:
Send invitations via text message
Send email invitations

As great as these methods are for inviting your neighbours, sometimes the best idea is just to hit the streets and start talking to those neighbours living closest to your home. Nothing beats a personal invitation or endorsement.

How do I send invitation letters?
Invitation Letters are an easy way to invite your neighbours to join Neighbourly. You can select the houses you wish to invite and we will print and send them letters on your behalf.
Every member can send their own letter invitations each month, and your quota allowance will depend on a number of factors, such as neighbourhood size and the success of previous invites sent in your area. Your quota will refresh at the beginning of each month, but if you go over your quota you can always print posters or flyers of your own, using our handy tools, and distribute these.

If you know your neighbour's name, you can add these details in the pop-up box displaying their address

Re-inviting a neighbour by email
If a neighbour has already been invited to join Neighbourly by email, we are unable to send them a second invite from a different neighbour.
However, we will send up to four invitation reminders over a two-month period to people who have not accepted an email invitation.
If a neighbour doesn't want to receive reminders, they can stop them at any time by clicking the "Not interested" link included in every invitation and reminder.
If you would still like to re-invite a neighbour yourself, you can email them directly from your own email account.

I'd like to invite a community leader who lives outside my neighbourhood
In the event a community leader, such as a Police Community Constable or local councillor, lives outside your Neighbourly neighbourhood, we will allow these people to contribute to the neighbourhood, and will verify their accounts manually. If you feel that you fit into this category, or you would like to suggest a community leader or community group that you think should be on Neighbourly, please contact us.
You can also send the community organisation or leader a link to our community page where they can learn more about how they can benefit from being involved with Neighbourly.
