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!

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.

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.
