🌈 Celebrate Community – Mar. 1st to 31st 💙🎉

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.

This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)

Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Ryobi Lawnmower (Subaru engine).

**Please note**
The bolt that attaches the wheel and height adjuster has snapped off (see pics). Needs to be welded / reattached.

Couple of repair places have said it's a relativity simple fix but we've decided to just buy a new hand mower - not enough lawn to warrant a petrol one anymore.

Mower is otherwise running fine, engine and general appearance is really good nick. I've still been able to mow lawns via balancing act :-)
Also comes with catcher, mulch attachment and manual.

Pickup is from the Mount, just off Tay street.

Price: $125
