Christmas is here, full of good cheer,
But high energy bills bring a shiver of fear.
Heating, lighting, causing parents’ despair,
Craig, our advisor, says he can help there.
“No need for lights, no need for tree,
Save your energy,” says he.
But don’t heed his words I say, don’t let your heart fret,
For there’s hope for festivities yet.
Insulation, draught proofing, be crafty with controls,
These are the things that’ll achieve your goals.
And there’s gifts from the government to bring additional cheer,
Like ol’ St Nick, reaching deep in his sack this time of year.
Funding to improve your cosy wee home,
From Home Energy Scotland and more to come.
Just ask us, we’ll guide you to find,
The presents that’ll give you peace of mind.
The Heat Project is your community energy advice project. We can help guide you
through any support and offer impartial advice on energy improvements or even
no-cost measures, all completely free.
You can contact us at martin@theheatproject.org or find more information at
www.theheatproject.org We are also at the BaRI Foodstore every Wednesday 4 - 5pm
where you might be able to find a certain Grinch, who finds no reason for cheer, when
Christmas joy is so near…
