We had an awesome time running our Energy Saving Workshops in both Katikati and Tauranga with some of our wonderful Kaimai! It was a full-on, info-packed day where we explored:
⚡ How to read and understand our power bills
⚡ Where the bulk of our energy is being used in our whare
⚡ Whether our power companies are actually the best fit for us
⚡ Simple, everyday ways to save power

Huge thank you to Tamawhariua Health & Social Services and Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Ranginui Iwi for hosting us so warmly — and for the delicious kai that kept our brains fueled!

And a big shout-out to Powerco for funding these workshops and helping us share this knowledge with kaimahi, so they can continue supporting their own whānau and the whānau they work alongside.

🔆 A Tauranga home we visited just won a Prezzy Card!🌱

Over the past year, Sustainability Options has been delivering Eco Design Advisors (EDA) home assessments in Tauranga. This service helps homeowners to design or upgrade homes to be healthier, more energy and water efficient, and sustainable for the future.

The EDA service (established in 2006) provides free, personalised, independent advice, to support better home performance. The EDA team did a national feedback survey, and one of the two prize draw winners was a Tauranga resident we visited. 🙌

She’s already put some of our recommendations into action - and plans to use her Prezzy Card for honeycomb blinds to reduce heat loss, something she learned about during her visit.🏠

Thank you to Tauranga City Council for funding and enabling us to deliver this valuable EDA service in Tauranga. In the past year, we have been able to support 80 households. ✨

We have journeyed with a lot of families in providing awhi/goods when it comes to cladding prep and re-painting whare. 🎨 If you have paint and paint containers (that you received from us, or even elsewhere), just a FYI that you can recycle these items. ♻️

You can take your own paint cans back to the supplier for free - so if it's Dulux, you would need to take it there, Resene, take it there, etc.

Let’s all do our part to protect our taiao 🌱

Behind every statistic on poor housing in Aotearoa is a story — of a child struggling to breathe, a whānau battling damp, a system stretched to repair the damage. In this talk, our colleague Melanie explores the human cost of inadequate housing, and the simple truth that housing is healthcare.

Our favourite time of year — Whānau Care Week 💛

Every October, we take time to check in with the whānau we’ve walked alongside — to see how things are going now that winter has passed, and to check in on what’s changed.

Each whare and whānau has its own story. Some are still on their journey towards a warmer, drier, healthier home. Others have made small, powerful shifts — DIY fixes, changes in daily habits, or passing on what they’ve learned to others.

For our team, Whānau Care Week is a gentle reminder of why we do this mahi. It’s not just about housing — it’s about people, compassion, and connection.

We’ve gathered a few reflections below - from our team and the whānau we visited.🌿

🌸 Caring for our whānau, protecting our taiao.

Our team spends a lot of time out in the community — meeting whānau, listening, and doing what we can to make homes healthier and lives a little easier. Over time, we’ve come to see just how many girls and women experience period poverty, especially in remote parts of the Bay of Plenty.

It’s something that’s been on our hearts for a while, and we’ve been wondering how we could help. Recently, we reached out to Days For Girls, and they so generously sent us boxes of their reusable pad kits — both regular and heavy flow — along with breastfeeding packs.

Each kit comes with care instructions so they can be reused again and again, reducing waste and helping to care for our taiao 🌏.

Our team of home assessors are now able to deliver these directly to whānau who need them most.

Thanks Days for Girls New Zealand for helping make this possible. 💚
