WINZ ADVOCACY
Based at CABK Coastlands office, this long awaited service provides the Kapiti community with up to date information and advocacy on the benefits and grants paid by Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ).
Kapiti’s diverse demographic, with its high percentage of elderly, low/fixed incomes, chronic health conditions/high health service users and young families includes a large number reliant on some sort of government support. This number is expected to grow as the economic impacts of COVID 19 are felt throughout the community. Many find navigating the WINZ process challenging and accessing the supportive, empathetic knowledgeable guidance provided by Kapiti BEST advocates can help ease what is often an already stressful time.
For further information or to make an appointment please call CABK Offices on 04 298 4944 or call in to our office on the first floor, Coastlands, between 9.00am and 4.00pm Monday - Friday.
