“Being Neighbourly is a lovely initiative to connect neighbours and promote conversations. In this divided world, it is a beacon of hope for building everyday connections. I have been part of the group for a short while and I look forward to being more active in the group in the coming months and getting to meet more people.”

“Being Neighbourly has been an amazing community that allowed me a safe space to give back to others and to connect with people I might never have met otherwise. As a soon-to-be first-time mom, I've received invaluable support, advice, and hand-me-downs that have made my pregnancy journey much more enjoyable. This sense of community is essential in a fast-paced city like Hong Kong—thank you, Being Neighbourly, for making it all possible!”

“As a longtime Mid-Levels resident, I love seeing new neighbors settle in and connect with others. The Being Neighbourly group is a fantastic platform for sharing information, organizing activities, and passing along second-hand items to reduce waste. I'm especially grateful for the household and baby items I've received through the group, and it's wonderful to see the community supporting each other this way. ”

“After moving to HK from New Zealand for many years I have missed having that close knit community feel at my doorstep. Facebook has always been around but I am very grateful to have such a friendly localised group like Being Neighbourly that has brought some of that magic back to share tips and tricks, borrow and sell rarely used household items - rehomed nearby within a day or so. Was particularly helpful (as was the sister group Buy Nothing) when moving apartments recently! I love it when community members recognize each other (either in person or online) and help tee things up to make things work out for everyone.”

“Being Neighbourly has been such a great community to be a part of. It gave me the opportunity to meet people I may never have met otherwise, and provided me with a safe space for me to give back to others… whether it is through rehoming things I no longer need, or offering my expertise and time. As a soon-to-be first-time mom, I’ve received so much advice, support and much-appreciated hand-me-downs that have made my pregnancy journey so much more enjoyable. I’ve had members tag me in posts they think might interest me, message me to check up on my progress, and so much more. This feeling of community and togetherness is so important, especially in a fast-paced city like Hong Kong. Thank you Nicole for all the work you do to make this possible!”

“As a local Hong Konger who grew up and has lived in Mid-Levels for many years, I really enjoy seeing new residents settle in comfortably and bond with other neighbours. The Being Neighbourly group is a fantastic platform where we can share information, organize community activities to mingle, and pass along second hand household items to help reduce waste. It's wonderful to see the community supporting each other in this way, and I'm particularly grateful for the household and baby items I've been able to receive through the group.”
