Survey

Chris from Burnside

Hi all, could you please pass this on to friends, families, school contacts, etc. so that we can better know the needs of our community. Also please do the survey yourselves 😊


Sarah Wylie, a social researcher is currently undertaking research on Burnside and the surrounding area for two local churches, Burnside Campus - Christchurch Elim (Grahams Rd) and St Timothy's (Kendal Ave). We are keen to better understand our community and its strengths, challenges, and needs, to help us tailor the activities and supports we collectively offer, complementing the great things already happening locally.

if you live in this area, it would be awesome to hear from you via this survey. It will take a few minutes and it won't identify you - what you say is anonymous.
The survey will be online until 29 August 2022.

Click on this link to access the survey or type it into your web browser.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
