Kia ora koutou,

A warm, warm greeting to everyone as we  adjust to Level 2. After being so cautious in our bubbles, it is a real change to being able to be out and about with more ease while still observing the social distancing and hygiene practices being asked of us in this Level 2 ‘new normal’. The visual produced by Neighbourhood New Zealand gives some key tips on managing life in Level 2,  caring for ourselves and our neighbours. 

A big shout-out to all of you have supported neighbours, friends and family. It is times like these where our Neighbourhood Support networks kick in to make sure we are all looked after. You can follow us on Facebook, look up “South Wairarapa Neighbourhood Support” page and like us to get all our updates. 

To join up for the Neighbourhood Support newsletter or to join up or establish a Neighbourhood Support group, please message or phone me on 027 276 1431 or email me on rachel@connectingcommunities.org.nz

 Ngā mihi, Rachel
