Neighbourly is spreading its roots! To help our communities grow even stronger, we’ve expanded and now have two dedicated spaces. Think of it as having a community noticeboard and a local newspaper in a digital neighbourhood.
So what is the difference between Neighbourly and Neighbourly News?
Neighbourly is unique because we address verify our members, a step not required for Neighbourly News. This makes Neighbourly a private website for your community. Your details aren't visible to anyone outside the platform unless you choose to interact with members in your "Nearby Neighbourhoods." Only verified neighbours can see the details on your profile.
The privacy of Neighbourly allows us to dedicate this space to direct neighbour-to-neighbour interaction, making it easier and safer than ever to:
- Stay Informed: Keep up with crime and safety or local issues.
- Find Lost Pets: Get the word out quickly to those closest to you.
- Recommend Services: Find and share trusted local tradies and businesses.
- Organise: Set up after-school activities and local events.
While Neighbourly is for chatting, Neighbourly News is for knowing. We created this digital-only news site to give our communities professional reporting with a local heart. We are focusing on the lifestyle content and location-specific updates that matter most to you.
Unlike the main Neighbourly site, Neighbourly News is not address-specific. This allows you to check up on what is happening in major centres all around Aotearoa!
