By The Energy Know How Team, Sharon Smith, Lynn Clarkson and Madiya Shokat
Lynn paid a visit to the baby and toddler group at Springwell Gardens to establish if the group lead felt that people attending the group would benefit from speaking to RotherFed’s energy team. The facilitator of the group confirmed that it would be a good idea and was very welcoming. The group ran for one hour and was well attended therefore Sharon who was in Springwell helped out to ensure that we spoke to everyone. The information was well received, energy saving tips and services and the Green Doctors offer, in particular. Over half the group felt that they would benefit from a Green Doctor visit to help them with draughty windows and doors together with condensation issues and cold rooms. After the playgroup finished the lead asked if we would be available to speak to other play groups and gave me venue details and contact for her manager to sort out some visit days. The drop-in session demonstrated that the services we offer are valued and needed in Rotherham.
