Sustainable Warwickshire

Atherstone’s White Hart Community Groups will be more sustainable thanks to funding from Warwickshire County Council’s Green Shoots Community Climate Change Fund.

White Hart Community Groups is a social organisation that runs groups for Atherstone residents, including a community fridge and a range of activity workshops.

They have been awarded £886 in Green Shoots funding to help them to overhaul their existing lighting system with energy efficient LED alternatives.

The Groups’ Atherstone base currently uses a variety of fluorescent and other lighting technology. Switching these to low-energy LED fittings will enable them to reduce the overall number of light fittings and overall energy consumption, whilst increasing the amount of available light in the well-used building.

The cost savings from the lighting switch will help the Groups to deliver their latest initiative: Warm Winter Hub. This new service operates on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (10am-2pm) and is for anyone in the community who would like a warm space to come along for a cup of tea and a biscuit, or soup and a roll and be among friends.
