I would like to merge my experience with people “Getting Ready for Employment Education and Training (GREETS)” and as a trained energy advisor to help get their cost of living down – so looking at how to make their homes more energy efficient and providing them with cheap simple things like eco lightbulbs, door brushes, electric blanket. One of my “GREETS” needs a bike lock to be able to cycle to her volunteering role… a good thing to get to help her reduce her cost of living as well as helping her progress herself and community!
I have remained in contact with several of my GREETS after the end of my recent project with PETROC, North Devon college. It is through this contact I know that this cohort are struggling and that there are small interventions that can be done to help them.
