Don't let your parents go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.

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

And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.

UPDATE- $200 reward. Please help us get Jagger home.

Hi community,

Our family has had a pretty hard 2023 so far and unfortunately now our much loved cat has gone missing. We are devastated. Please could everyone look out for Jagger. He’s a big boy with a blue collar and white tracking device (which was a waste of money 😞). Missing from Tender Road, Dairy Flat.

We had to move from Oyster Point Rd after the cyclone so I wonder if he’s trying to get back there. X

Ethan's life was surrounded by drugs and alcohol due to gang-affiliated friends and family. But after losing loved ones, he joined a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme. Initially hesitant and shy, he gradually gained confidence, showed his humour and found his voice.

The programme helped him explore different career paths and Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort. The Foundation took the opportunity to hire him and he now helps other young people involved in the programme on their career journeys.
