The Dunleer Community Development Board (DCDB) kicked off its launch this week of an innovative programme of
education to help people take control of their energy use
and giving them the information to make informed choices The programme is
titled “The Energy Ambassadors” which is a highly interactive one hour fun
presentation.
The Energy Ambassadors programme concentrates on sharing knowledge
and providing advice to communities on how to work together to access grant
funding for home upgrades. Their aim is providing “bottom-up” assistance, “from a
community and for the community”.
On Thursday the 23rd of March at 8pm in the Market House, Main Street,
Dunleer; I and a number of other Public Representatives attended to experience the
programme.
I have to commend Gerry Reaburn and Eugene Conlon on a very enjoyable and informative presentation which included for the very large part, interaction from a very captivated audience. I want to take this opportunity to wish the Energy Team huge success in rolling out “The Energy Ambassadors Programme” nationwide. I personally think it is such a fantastic initiative.
