Project updates
March 2024
Warm Wales, in collaboration with Haywire and Outside Lives, continues to make significant efforts in community outreach and support. Through their comprehensive range of services, including over-the-phone assistance, in-person workshops and outreach, we're addressing diverse needs, from energy and water related issues to emergency food and fuel banks to support the community.
Their partnership with Haywire has seen successful delivery of energy efficiency workshops in local schools, engaging primary and secondary pupils and promoting a greater understanding of energy-related concepts aligned with their curriculum.
Outside Lives has been leading in volunteer recruitment for the Happy Healthy Homes project. With a planned event calendar for 2024 and strategic partnerships with local organisations. The aim is to create a network of champions promoting community well-being.
Additionally, Warm Wales’ collaboration with theatre practitioners from Haywire ensures creative alignment, extending invitations to pupils for showcasing their artistic creations at future events.
