Bay of Plenty

20 Degrees is a vision to ensure Bay of Plenty homes can achieve and sustain a healthy temperature of 20°C on a cold winter's night.

The programme is delivered by Sustainability Options, who visit the homes of those struggling with cold, damp and poor housing conditions. The team identify the issues preventing homes from reaching 20°C and seek to develop a plan to work with the whānau / families to address these.

To solve these problems, 20 Degrees works with other available programmes, connecting home occupants with any services or subsidies that may help improve their housing conditions and living situation. 20 Degrees then fills the gaps of any issues left unresolved, typically the minor repairs and maintenance, by fixing these at no or low cost to home occupants.

The focus of the programme is to support whānau/families in addressing repairs and maintenance issues such as; insulation, broken windows, draughts, leaks, curtains, heating, bathroom extraction, and behaviours that support a warm and dry home such as moisture management, ventilation, draught control, controlling heat losses and cost-effective heating.

We’re Back! Help More BOP Homes Reach 20 Degrees This Winter  13 February 2025

Kia ora whānau,

The need for warm, healthy homes in the Bay of Plenty hasn’t changed—so neither have we! We’re reopening this Givealittle page to continue supporting whānau to have warmer, drier, healthier whare across the Bay of Plenty.

Through 20 Degrees, our team at Sustainability Options visits homes, identifies barriers to warmth and dryness, and works with whānau to create solutions. Your donations help us fill the gaps—fixing draughts, broken windows, leaks, and more—to ensure homes can reach 20°C on a cold winter’s night.

Every contribution makes a difference. Let’s make winter warmer for all whānau!

Ngā mihi nui,

The 20 Degrees Team
