Alzheimers Northland needs your help

Katrina from Rural West Whangarei

Hello Neighbours
This posting is a call for support, Alzheimers Northland urgently needs donations to keep their services going. In their 30th year of providing life-changing services to Northlanders living with dementia, they should be celebrating but instead we are fighting to stay afloat. As a current board member and as a daughter of 2 wonderful parents who have both suffered from the affliction of dementia, I post this plea for support with a heart full of hope that it will resonate with someone who understands and is able to help.
Please open the link below to discover the wonderful things that the Alzheimers Northland society does and how you can help.

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
