MUMMY'S IN NEED CHARITY
Good afternoon Neighbours, I hope you are enjoying your weeks!
It has been a while since I have posted however, the needs of families in need is always ongoing. At the moment we are looking for the below items to help:
BABY WASH
TOOTHPASTE
BLANKETS
COT AND BASSINET BEDDING
PRAMS (suitable for newborns)
If anyone is able to donate any of the above or perhaps contribute a donation towards any of these items, we would be so grateful. If local, I can also collect.
I have met some lovely people through Neighbourly just by these frequent posts and we really appreciate those who take the time to even acknowledge them.
Thank you kindly!
Nicola Jane

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
