Cold, damp homes can make it harder for whānau to stay healthy through winter.

The 20 Degrees team works alongside Bay of Plenty whānau to help improve living conditions through practical advice, home assessments, education and, where possible, home improvements.

Their website also has some really useful DIY resources covering things like reducing bathroom mould, cleaning your heat pump and DIY window glazing.

A healthy home plays an important role in the health and wellbeing of our whānau.

The 20 Degrees initiative, led by Sustainability Options, supports whānau across the Bay of Plenty towards warmer, drier and healthier homes through home assessments, education, minor repairs and connections to further support.

They offer free home assessments, and whānau can self-refer to find out what support may be available.

A PSA from your b***s (yes, both of them):

👀 Get familiar with us

Take the time to learn what's normal for you. Look for new lumps, and any changes to your breast shape/size or ni***es. If something's changed, get it checked by your healthcare provider ASAP.

📅 Don't skip your screening

Breast screening can help find breast cancer early, before it spreads. BreastScreen Aotearoa provides free breast screening for eligible women aged between 45 and 69, and aged 70 – 74 who qualify for the screening extension. Look out for your screening invitation and book an appointment.

💗 It's okay to feel nervous

Lots of people feel nervous about the unknown and that’s completely normal! You're welcome to bring a support person to your appointments, to be with you before and after your mammogram.

⭐ Check it at any age

Even if you're not eligible for routine breast screening, it's important to know what's normal for you. If you notice a change, talk to your healthcare provider as soon as possible.

🌸 Try not to panic if something changes

Most breast changes aren't cancer, but it's still important to get them checked to be sure.
