Delivering for the people of Wigram<br />
In Wigram, Budget <strong>2021</strong> will mean more jobs and fewer children growing up in poverty, and it will build on<br />
the work that’s already underway to improve our community.<br />
One of the key initiatives is an increase in main benefits by up to $55 per week, this money will help<br />
families put food on the table, buy shoes for kids, and heat their homes.<br />
Low-income homeowners can also look forward to warmer homes thanks to the Budget <strong>2021</strong> investment<br />
into the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme. Through Community Energy Action, eligible low-income<br />
homeowners in Christchurch can have ceiling and underfloor insulation installed for free.<br />
Those eligible for Winter Energy Payments will also have noticed the extra help they are gettting to pay<br />
their energy bills.
