Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Many workplaces now embrace hybrid working — splitting time between home and the office. For years, people have built their routines and lifestyles around this flexibility.
But critics say it weakens team spirit, slows training, and makes collaboration harder.

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

Join us at The Vic this Sunday 28 September at 4pm for a special play reading of Shelter by Elspeth Sandy. Tickets just $20
A mother and son, out on a weekend tramp in the bush, are forced to take shelter during a storm. As the play unfolds, and hidden family truths are revealed, the tension generated by their strange surroundings fuses with the tension in their relationship to bring the action to a shocking climax.
There is a great cast - Alison Bruce and Joe Dekkers-Reihana and the reading is directed by Andrew Foster.
Elspeth’s stage play, The Body Politic, which had a first reading at the Vic two years ago, played to capacity houses at Circa Theatre last year.
Her latest novel - A Gap in Nature - will be published in November.
