St. it was led by our City Co-ordinator Mrs Roi Stephens who
focused attention on 3 main areas:
1. NS Waitakere and how it operates within the community.

- Neighbourhood Week
What is it?
Neighbourhood Week is a week dedicated to getting to know the
people who live close to you. It is an opportunity to get to
know the people in your neighbourhood.
Why have a neighbourhood Week?
Neighbours can be powerful allies in helping to address issues
such as loneliness and fear of crime.
What can I do?
Past events that people have organized include:
Neighbourhood picnics, parties and barbecues
Neighbourhood sports such as street cricket or soccer
Potluck dinners
Hired a skip and cleaned up the street
Public meetings with guest speakers
Morning teas
Monster street garage sales
Wine and cheese evenings
Cultural feasts / fairs / gala days - celebrating diversity!
Starting a Neighbourhood Support Group
Other ideas include baking a cake or buying a packet of biscuits
and going and knocking on your neighbour's door, especially the
elderly, those at home with young families, those from different
cultures and those you don't know.
Neighbourhood Support New Zealand encourages you to use
Neighbourhood Week 2010 to get to know your neighbours.
