Lest we forget...

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

We will remember them."

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

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

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

1. Provides Comfort and Security: Sleeping next to your partner can make you feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Feeling the warmth of their body next to yours can create a sense of intimacy and closeness that can be hard to replicate in any other setting.

2. Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Sleeping next to someone you trust and care about can help you feel less stressed and anxious. The presence of your partner can help regulate your breathing and heart rate, leading to a more restful and peaceful sleep.

3. Encourages Better Sleep: When you sleep next to your partner, you may experience fewer disruptions during the night. Studies have shown that couples who sleep together often have more consistent sleep patterns, fall asleep faster, and sleep longer than those who sleep alone.

4. Promotes Emotional Bonding: Sleeping next to your partner can promote emotional bonding and help you feel more connected to one another. This can lead to a stronger, healthier relationship overall.


Sleeping next to your partner can be a positive and rewarding experience. It can bring you closer together, improve your sleep quality, and promote overall health and wellbeing.
