Neighbour Help & Practical Support in New Zealand
Some of the most useful local support is simple: a community resource, a practical help request, or an organisation that connects neighbours. SharePatch keeps that discovery local, moderated, and focused on public information.
Start with your locality
Search the full New Zealand directory for your city, town, suburb, or region before you browse or contribute.

Useful local context, not a live inventory.
General help requests that can be reviewed before appearing on a city map.
Family, furniture, tool, repair, and food-resource information at locality level.
Add something useful
Help the next neighbour verify it.
Add a useful public resource with its source link and a general locality. Personal phone numbers, private addresses, and unverified availability do not belong on a public map.
Choose a locality to add a pinA public-map boundary
Keep it public, local, and reviewable.
Use a public source link, not a private conversation.
Use a locality or general pickup area, never a private address or contact.
Submissions are reviewed before appearing on SharePatch.
Details can change, so pins never promise live availability.
