Did you know you can share details of community events with your fellow neighbours on Neighbourly? Please let us know if you’ve got a school fair, community market, workshop or other event coming up that the public can attend! Click the Events tab within Neighbourly for more details.

We can also share this info in The Press’ weekly What’s On column (published Fridays in print and online at thepress.co.nz). You can email event info to us directly too at reporters@press.co.nz - please include the date, time, location, info on any costs/ticket requirements, info on what the event is and a photo, if possible.

There is no charge to submit an event for this column, but inclusion is not guaranteed. Submissions need to be in by the end of business on Tuesday to be considered for that Friday’s column.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
