What is the 20 Degrees Vision?
Led by Sustainability Options, the 20 Degrees collaborative vision works to improve living conditions for whānau across the Bay of Plenty by contributing to their health and well-being through home assessments, repairs, education, and collaboration. With this mahi, we are creating healthier homes throughout the Bay of Plenty.
Why 20 Degrees?
The World Health Organisation recommends maintaining a healthy temperature of 20°C in the home when young children, older adults, or vulnerable people are present. Our vision is to journey with whānau across the Bay of Plenty towards a healthy 20°C on a cold winter's night.
