SUSTAINABLE ENERGY:
Do you want to reduce your energy bills ? Do you need to update your house insulation ? Could you do with solar panels for hot water in Summer. Do you want to become more energy efficient in your home or business ? Do you want a free BER rating for your home? We are offering you an opportunity not to be missed.!!!
Granagh Development Association are getting involved in the Sustainable Energy Community programme (SEC) with the aim of helping the local community to become more energy efficient and to use renewable energy or smart energy, where feasible. The SEC will include all different energy users - homes, sports clubs, community centres, churches, schools, farms and businesses.
In partnership with the SEAI ( Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) we aim to develop an Energy Master Plan for Granagh parish. They will provide funding to hire a consultant who will collect the local energy data i.e. energy spend, energy systems and fuel types in use. He will also do an energy audit of each building and produce a BER rating for same.
Unbelievably, all this is free of charge to you....... No charge for the energy audit, no charge for the BER Cert and no charge for the expert advice.
All you have to provide to the consultant is your total fuel bill for the year e.g. ESB, Oil, Diesel, Gas, Coal, Timber etc
To get involved, please forward your name to John Bennett (087-6878822) or E-mail - granaghcommunity@gmail.com or give your name to any committee member. Closing date 31st July.
PHONE CONNECT:
The Phone Connect project is a free community based telephone support service offered to older people in the West Limerick Area empowering them to remain independent in their own homes. The weekly service provides a listening ear to the elderly allowing them to share any worries or concerns and to be informed of any local events or services. West Limerick Resources are now seeking volunteers to make these phone-calls from a dedicated space with a mobile phone. All volunteers will be Garda Vetted and training will also be made available.
If you would be interested in volunteering or require more information, they would be delighted to hear from you by calling Damien at West Limerick Resources on 087 9042477 or Stefanie on 087 3663842.
