Helping others

Glen from Central Whangarei

I have made a new website designed to help people find what they need in relation to things in the community.

The site is only a week old but will list charities from all over NZ and as time allows I want to help promote small businesses.

Community Websites is the name. these things start small and will grow to be a big website with links to other sites providing help.

Currently, those needing help with ACC matters or those with disability young and old can find a huge amount of useful links.

Two children's charities are currently listed but plenty of room for more.

Accessible Whangarei is listed this site promotes small businesses in Whangarei.

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!
