What an enjoyable and inspiring catch up earlier this week with Neighbourhood Support Waitematā District Coordinators at NBR 12 in Greenhithe. ☕💙
Over a cuppa and some shared kai, we enjoyed a productive discussion about what's happening in our communities, sharing ideas, successes, challenges, and updates from around the district. There is a lot happening behind the scenes including the development of some fabulous resources. 😊
Our meeting was a great reminder of the important role Neighbourhood Support plays in building connected, resilient, and caring communities. 🏡🤝

Autumn really does put on a beautiful show 🍂

This image of a lovely burst of colour in Rāhui Road is from a couple of weeks ago now. As we head into the heart of winter, the nature show is almost over for another year, but there are still trees with the last of their rich red, gold, and orange leaves waiting to fall and carpet the ground.

Makes it a pleasure to be out walking and enjoying the outdoors. 😊 And there is always the fun of autumn leaves crunching underfoot as you walk. 🍁🥾

Wishing our community a restful long weekend. ✨

📷 Thanks to Amanda for the image 🌳😊
