Red Cross Grants - Don't be shy

Kia ora koutou

The Red Cross Grants Processing Team would like to notify you of a new grant that was launched on the 1st July; the Winter Assistance for School Aged Children Grant.

The aim of this grant is to assist people with school aged children aged 5 to 18 years who are living in their significantly damaged homes caused by either September, February or June earthquakes. The significant damage must include serious compromise to the insulation of the home or significant damage to the main heating source. This grant assists households with their electricity bills over the winter months. This grant is for $400 in total and will be made up of three monthly payments, the first payment will be $200 and the subsequent ones for $100 each which will be paid directly to their electricity retailer.

For the most up to date information on our grants visit the grants website http://www.redcrosseqgrants.org.nz/Overview/Information/Available-Grants.htm or call the grant line on 0800 754 726.

If you are unable to print the grant forms we can print them for you at the school office.

Keep safe and warm

John
