News Community News Opportunity | Himalayan Centre for Arts and Culture

Hello there,
My name is Victoria and I coordinate the Himalayan Centre for Arts & Culture’s Home Visits that are part of the Centre’s Climate Change Hub project. Caroline Kemp (from Girls Rock School) suggested I get in touch with you to promote the project I’m currently working on.

I think people at St Margaret’s Complex might be interested in the free Home Visits we’re currently offering. In our last project we managed to help households save a total of 62 tonnes of CO2 emissions- the equivalent of 372 double decker buses! This year we’re hoping to save even more, so it would be great if you could help us promote this exciting project.
The visits aim to help households in the Leith area become more environmentally friendly by reducing the amount of energy they use at home.
They entail a quick energy audit to identify the main areas of improvement, and we provide practical tips on how to go about doing this. We also help people determine if they’re eligible for grants and schemes to help towards the costs of any changes. All the visits are free, carried out by trained volunteers and members of staff and are free and open to anyone living in Leith.
Below is a digital flyer with more information; it would be ace if you could share it amongst your network of contacts, add it to a newsletter, social media, share it in social events, etc. I’m pretty sure people that take part in the activities St Margaret’s offers would appreciate help and advice in reducing their individual carbon footprint -and this project aims to do just that!
I’m happy to pop by with some printed posters and to have a chat with anyone from the Green Team to talk about other ways of promoting this. Would this be possible?
All the best,
Victoria
