Forward thinking mums and dads could be in a windfall on their energy bills thanks to an initiative from the Footprint Trust.
Energetic is the name of a new initiative, which involved young families in saving money through sensible use of fuel. The Trust will be recruiting mums and dads to act as ‘Energetic Champions’ and will give free training to those involved. A short fun free training course will be held during the school day. Those trained will then be able to apply their new knowledge to their home and share their skills with neighbours, families and friends. The first 10 people to join up will get a free limited edition Energetic stylish orange T- shirt.
Mayfield Middle School in Ryde will be piloting an Energetic training event on Friday 21st January at 1.15pm. If your school would like to host one of these free events then please contact the Trust.
Gas and electricity bills were over £1,000 in 2009 - a 30% increase in five years, with household energy bills set to double over the next five years. The Energetic project will help young families use fuel more efficiency, and those taking part could easily knock around £100 to £400 off their energy bills in the next year.
The Energetic project also offers free home visits and a helpline – giving guidance on energy and water efficiency. More details are available by emailing ray@footprint-trust.co.uk or telephone 01983 822282. The Energetic project is funded by the ScottishPower Energy People Trust.
