If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.

There have been a number of studies and meta analysis that focused on the effectiveness of one-to-one tuition. Some of these studies include:

1. Professor Benjamin Bloom, who examined the impact of one-to-one tutoring on students' academic achievement. The study concluded that students who received individualised tutoring outperformed 98% of their peers who did not receive such tutoring.

2. Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), an independent charity in the UK that funds education research and evaluates the impact of educational interventions. They have conducted numerous randomised controlled trials on one-to-one tutoring, which have consistently shown positive effects on academic attainment.

3. Meta-analyses combine and analyse data from multiple studies to derive broader conclusions. Several meta-analyses have been conducted on the effectiveness of one-to-one tutoring, such as those by Slavin, Cheung, Pellegrini and Hattie, which demonstrate the positive impact of tutoring and its inbedded practices, across various academic disciplines.

Buxus hedge

Pat from Feilding

I have a surplus buxus hedge for removal. It's in great condition, approx 4m long and 56 cms tall. If you have a home for it, it's free, but you have to come and dig it up yourself. Seems like a bargain! Please message me for details. Many thanks, everyone!
