In every neighbourhood, there’s someone who goes the extra mile, mowing lawns for the elderly, running the kids’ footy team, or simply being the first to lend a hand. These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.

These unsung heroes make our communities stronger, kinder, and more connected.
Now’s the time to give them the recognition they deserve.
Celebrate your local hero today, whether it’s a teacher, a coach, a caregiver, or the neighbour who’s always there when it counts. We’re shining a light on the everyday legends making a difference in towns, suburbs, and rural corners across Aotearoa.
Let’s make sure even the quietest champions get the loudest applause by sharing our legends on the Neighbourly Noticeboard!
