We are Neighbourhood NZ
A collective of passionate humans doing good for their 'hood.
Est. 2020
Neighbourhood NZ is an innovative and diverse non-profit centered around fostering community connection and impact through providing events, education and empowerment for individuals and the collective. Our community events and campaigns aim to bring young New Zealander’s together to give them a space to connect whilst also forming a support system for when they are in need.
Ultimately, Neighbourhood exists to encourage those around us to nurture their wellbeing by giving them tangible, interactive and creative events, resources and tools.
WHO WE ARE
A NBHD UPDATE FROM DIRECTOR MADELINE MASON
Kia ora friends, family and followers of Neighbourhood NZ! We appreciate you being on this journey with us.
Every week it feels like we have had a mini growth spurt, or encounter some growing pains. Treading where no one has trodden means things can sometimes be overwhelming and difficult, but we also feel beyond grateful to do the mahi that we do.
As of July 2022, we officially became a registered charity (after 18 months as a non-profit) and we hope this allows us to keep refining and rolling out our impactful campaigns and growing community spaces. A team of 24 volunteers around Aotearoa chip in time each week to make Neighbourhood what it is - and we are pretty darn proud of how far we’ve come with only our pocket money and a whole lot of heart to power us forward so far.
Neighbourhood has now grown to a size and potential where we are investing more time and energy into logistics and strategy, because, thanks to all of you (!!!) more and more people are engaging with and getting behind our mahi - and we are evolving to be able to embrace that.
What started as a pipe-dream scribble in a diary is now a real, tangible operation and we are forever grateful for every single person who has believed in us along the way.
