Get Ready for Winter with Our Healthy Homes Sessions!

Winter is coming—and at Te Hono o Ngā Waka, we’re here to help our whānau stay warm, dry, and well this season. This morning, we kicked off the first of three Healthy Homes Initiative information sessions at the Hokitika Library, led by the incredible Mikayla Tumahai.

It was a great turnout, with whānau popping in for a cuppa and kōrero about what support is available to help get their homes winter-ready. Mikayla shared valuable information about insulation, heating, ventilation, and other practical ways to improve home health—especially for those living in older or colder whare.

This kaupapa is all about keeping our tamariki and whānau safe and well during the colder months, and ensuring that no one slips through the cracks when it comes to housing support.

If you missed today’s session, don’t worry—Mikayla will be back at the Hokitika Library for two more drop-in sessions on:

• Wednesday 29 May

• Wednesday 26 June
  ⏰ 10am – 12pm

These sessions are open to everyone—come along, have a chat, and find out what support might be available for you or your whānau. Nau mai, haere mai!
