In Touch – January

20th January 2022

We’re pleased to be supporting Big Energy Week in this first edition of In Touch in 2022. According to Age UK, over one million older people cannot afford to heat their homes properly, and with the soaring cost of living and energy prices, as a charity supporting older people in need we’re doing all we can to help our residents keep their bills down. Although our many listed almshouses look beautiful, built over a century ago they are much harder for our residents to heat than modern homes. With most of our villagers on benefits, our staff have been working closely with specialist contractors to check, and if required, improve their loft and wall insulation and help them access the Government grants that many of them are entitled to, to fund this work. We’ve also published some top tips for saving energy across your home, which shows that even a few small changes can help save hundreds of pounds a year – something that’s good for the pocket and the planet. Now where’s that thermostat…?!
