Overview

Neighbours Day Aotearoa is about turning streets into neighbourhoods and celebrating the neighbourliness that is part of our Kiwi culture. We promote Neighbours Day Aotearoa on the last weekend of March (inaugural celebration on 26-27 March 2011). Neighbours Day Aotearoa is an initiative of three not-for-profit organisations: LIFEWISE – An Auckland based social service agency supporting thousands of children, families and older people each year; Inspiring Communities – An organisation supporting a community-led approach to societal economic and environmental development in NZ with a vision for stronger, more resilient local communities; and Methodist Missions Aotearoa – A national network of social service agencies aligned to the Methodist Church of NZ (including LIFEWISE) with diverse geographical and cultural representation.
