Best For Stress Relief: DYH
Shaking your booty is remarkably healthy, and not just in fitness-and-weight-loss kind of way. Dancing can boost your brain power, improve your outlook, grow your social circle, and protect your most important organs.....even if you have no rhythm. So grab your pals, hit the hall, and let loose however you want. Social dancing to any upbeat music you love reaps the benefits of camaraderie and completely blows out stress.

Members of the Acacia Cove Village community recently took part in a photo competition, with travel being one of the categories. What a wonderful experience this was! Looking at all the magnificent pictures and hearing about the travel stories and the different cultures encountered.

This is just one example of the many events run within our lovely community. Our friendly residents are a busy bunch and a lot of the couples and singles travel together. Recently we had a few couples on a cruise to Hawaii. They came back all excited and starry-eyed about their adventure.

What a wonderful privilege to experience the world and all it has to offer!

Hi neighbours, can you help us better understand your community's concerns about crime and community safety? If you are interested, please take part in our ten minute survey here.

We’re from the Institute of Criminology, Victoria University of Wellington. This research aims to understand our growing reliance on private security for protection against burglary and other crime and what this can tell us about perceptions of crime and policing and the changing ways we manage the risks of crime.

Neighbourly was chosen because of the keen interest of its members in ‘Crime and Safety’ and we hope this will translate into lots of Neighbourly members taking part and making a contribution. For much more detail about the project please read the PDF. We really appreciate your participation, thank-you.

We are still looking for a retail whiz to help us as a Store Manager for our Three Kings Op shop.
We are desperately hoping that as our amazing supporters, you can help us spread the word to anyone who may fit the bill.
If you know someone who has great customer service skills, experience leading a team and has a great sense of enthusiasm to rally the troops for a great cause - then we NEED THEM!
We are struggling without this position being filled which is putting a huge strain and resource and means we can't reach our full op shop potential for the animals.
In short, we need you and our animals need you, so lets find someone who can help a team in need!
IF you think you can help us, or know someone that can, please apply by sending your CV and Cover letter to Emma Starr at emma.starr@spca.org.nz by the 28th September.
Thanks guys!
