Red Cross to give second round of Winter Assistance The New Zealand Red Cross 2011 Earthquake Commission have approved more help with electricity bills for all households that received its 2012 Winter Assistance Grant. Around 6000 households will receive a second payment of $400 which will be paid directly to their power company. The previous grant was $100 for each of the four months of June, July, August and September. The Winter Assistance Grant closed on October 1. It was available to all households with earthquake damage or those who had to move to colder, damper, harder to heat accommodation.
