If you’ve been to a Friendzone event before, you’ve probably been added to your neighbourhood Telegram chat!

Neighbourhood chats are a platform for continued conversations and the sharing of resources and perspectives among neighbours. 

Wondering how you can make the best use of yours? We looked through the various Telegram chats to crowdsource some ideas on how you can use your own neighbourhood’s chat — read on to find out what they are!

Psst…did you know that in addition to neighbourhood chats, Friendzone’s got a Telegram channel to consolidate and reshare content chats all around Singapore? We also post updates, reflections and sneak peeks about what we’re up to! Subscribe to join in the fun!

Ways to use your neighbourhood’s Telegram chat

inspired by existing friends of Friendzone:

9) Ask for Help! 

Don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice! That’s what our neighbourhood networks are for — to provide assistance and support! Ask about anything from internship or job opportunities to directions  or neighbourhood-related topics (e.g. “What time does Sheng Siong close?”)

10) Don’t Say BOJIO

Jio your neighbours for runs, games, food delivery, meals, etc! The more the merrier :) 

Neighbourhood chats exist for a multitude of reasons, but at the end of the day, they serve as platforms for meaningful connection and interaction between neighbours! Technology is a great way to bridge distances and bring a community together. Remember to be considerate and show appreciation for neighbours who have the courage/willingness to ask a question or share something — a short reply or word of thanks can go a long way!
