The one thing the team want you to know
Seadream Education CIC is a not profit organisation set up in 2017 by three female doctorate scientists. Our mission is to improve individual, community and environmental health and well-being. We bring exciting science and engineering outreach to instil passion, awe, knowledge, understanding and respect for the world around us. We lead by example and raise aspirations. We use our skills, our networks and our experiences to achieve our mission.
Project description
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. Through check-in meetings I will be looking at how to make their homes more energy efficient and providing them with cheap simple things like eco lightbulbs, door brushes, electric blanket. I will also be looking at ways to help get their cost of living down in general not just energy) – for example, one of my “GREETS” needs a bike lock to be able to cycle to her volunteering role… a great item 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.
I have a good relationship with multiple groups such as Plymouth Positive People and Horizon Youth sailing and I believe that if I secure this project and disseminate information within these groups I will receive referrals of additional people, predominantly GREETS, to support.
Funding needed £2500
