Neighbourhood Watch Month

Scammers might be getting sneakier – but you can learn to spot their common tricks and ruses with Be Connected.

What if the simplest way to strengthen your community started with just saying hello? That's the heart of Neighbours Every Day (NED), a year-round campaign by Relationships Australia that empowers Australians to build more connected, respectful and inclusive communities. From casual chats over the fence to organised street events, the campaign reminds us that small, everyday actions can make a big difference.

Back in November for Bunnings Crime Prevention Week, Neighbourhood Support (NS) groups such as Whakatāne, Taupō and Waitākere teamed up with Bunnings, local Police, and Community Patrols NZ to hold Safer Plates and Tool Engraving events for their communities.
