FREE insulation subsidies now available in Otago

Jordana Whyte from Cosy Homes

Give yourself the gift of warmth this year!

Cosy Homes Trust and Otago Community Trust have joined forces to boost the Government’s subsidised insulation scheme to be FREE for many Otago residents!

If your home was built before 2000, and you have a Community Services Card or a Gold Card with a Community Services Card endorsement, you are eligible for FREE ceiling and underfloor insulation where accessible.

Own a rental property? If your main tenant has a CSC, and the house was built before 2000, Cosy Homes and Otago Community Trust will boost your subsidy to 75%. As the landlord, you pay 25%.

Subsidies are available for a limited time, and are first-in, first-served.

To enquire, please call 03 425 7878, or fill in our 5-second form at www.cosyhomes.org.nz...

Cosy Homes Charitable Trust is a not-for-profit community organisation.

Yvette Williams Retirement Village

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
