Project: Winter Warmth
Amount Funded: £250
Councillor who rewarded the funding: Sarah Thomson
The project will deliver Winter Warmth workshops and provide practical energy-saving measures, including curtain linings and draught excluders for doors and letterboxes, to help residents stay warm and reduce household energy costs. Working through the community hub, social groups, clubs, outreach services, frailty support programmes and the Foodbank community stores, the project aims to reach a broad range of residents who may be vulnerable to fuel poverty. Awareness of the support available will be promoted through social media, local publicity and community networks to maximise engagement and ensure assistance reaches those most in need.
