Warm 'n' Well
warmer homes, healthy families
Welcome to Warm 'n' Well. This is a new exciting Waitemata District Health Board programme offering free insulation for families living in homes built before 1978 and a free family health and social assessment. The Waitemata District comprises Waitakere City, North Shore City and the Rodney District.
Auckland Regional Public Health Service (ARPHS) has been contracted by Waitemata District Health Board (WDHB) to manage and implement this programme.
Warm ‘n’ Well will start in Ranui (West Auckland) and will gradually be offered across the Waitemata District Health Board region.
As you can see our website is still under development. Please visit again soon to learn more about this programme.
