Insurer nib backs Ronald McDonald House with $20k investment

In order to meet isolation requirements, 28 rooms across the Auckland and Wellington houses were converted into self-contained units, to enable long stay families to remain in their ‘home-away-from-home’ during lockdown.

With the communal kitchens closed, nib bolstered its existing RMHC New Zealand national partnership with a further investment of $20,000 to enable each room to be kitted out with a fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave to ensure families could function safely in their bubbles.

A further 12 rooms were also supplied with kettles for short stay families, so social distancing could be maintained.

nib foundation executive officer Amy Tribe said nib was proud to continue supporting an organisation that helps so many Kiwi families, especially during a time of such difficulty.
