Winter Wellness
Practical winter support for local whānau, combining everyday essentials, grocery support and energy assistance to help households stay warm, well-fed and supported through the colder months
Nominations closed
Winter Wellness has wrapped up for the year — thanks to our community partners we delivered just over 170 packs to whānau across the rohe.
One winter, two kinds of help
Each winter The Lines Company delivers Power it Forward: Winter Wellness — a coordinated initiative to support households across our network who may be doing it tough during the colder months.
It brings Winter Wellness Packs and Power it Forward energy credits together into a single, community-led approach: practical support in the home, and relief on power costs.
Winter Wellness Packs
Practical items that make a cold house easier to live in and cheaper to heat, distributed through local community organisations who know their people.
Power it Forward energy credits
Credits generated by our community solar projects, applied to the power accounts of households who need the relief most.
How the support reaches people
Step one
We partner with local organisations
Marae, foodbanks, health and social services, schools — the people already alongside whānau through winter.
Step two
They identify the households
Support is directed by local knowledge, not a form — so it stays dignity-preserving and lands where it's needed.
Step three
Packs and credits go out together
Warmth in the home and relief on the bill, delivered as one coordinated push through the season.
This year's packs
Packed, loaded and delivered alongside our community partners.
