Yippee.... Its that time of the year again - and we're delighted to be hosting the Community Christmas day lunch again.

Carol Winters from Age Concern Havelock North

Yes, we're over the moon that once again we can deliver this year's Community Christmas Day lunch again. Due to overwhelming support from some local businesses, the big day is on again!


We've got a magnificent team on the job, Santa's sleigh bells are starting to ring, the hams are on their way and plenty of happy people are on the list to come along.


What I'd love you all to do is pass the message onto anyone you feel could do with some company, or needs a helping hand at what can otherwise be a time of the year that's a bit overwhelming. The details are on the leaflet here.


We have enough volunteers already and thanks to those who have offered their time - you're truly amazing.


For those already booked in, you're in for the time of your life! We can't wait.

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.
