'Kawerau Neighbourhood Support Connecting You To A Safer Community'
Starting a Neighbourhood Support Group is as easy as talking to the people on your street. Forming a group is a great way to promote regular communication, support one another and bring people close together.
How to form a group:
- Contact your local Neighbourhood Support Coordinator to express your interest to get started.
- Your local coordinator will help you to contact people to join your group, organise an initial meeting and identify a Street Contact. Your Street Contact acts as the ongoing liaison with your coordinator.
- At the first meeting, your local coordinator or street contact will talk about Neighbourhood Support, distribute information and create a contact list.
- Your Street Contact then continues to distribute information to keep you informed.
Community events are a great way to participate in Neighbourhood Support activities, to learn more about what is happening and connect with people living in your neighbourhood. They're also a great way to mix with other Neighbourhood Support Groups to exchange ideas.
There are numerous events you can participate in to help make our community a better place: Neighbours Day Aotearoa, barbeques to meet your neighbours, soup nights, working bees to tidy up the street, school holiday programmes, cultural events, fundraisers and much more.....
If you are one of the original Street Contacts please contact us by using the form below. We really would like to hear from you!
In case of an emergency please dial 111
