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.

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!
