Staff from Queens Park Forum’s Energise Queens Park (EQP)project went out during the winter with a thermal imaging camera to capture images of heat escaping from homes in the area.  Red and white areas in the picture above show heat escaping from a property in Marne Street.  On June 28th EQP will be delivering a draught proofing workshop for children and parents of Wilberforce School who have been working with Save the Children’s ‘In My Back Yard’ programme which empowers young people and families living in areas affected by poverty to make a genuinely positive impact on their lives.   One of the classes at Wilberforce chose to focus their campaign on the issue of high energy bills for low income families.  Draught proofing your home gives you the chance to avoid heat loss seen in the picture above.  Note how much heat is being lost from the windows and the airbricks.  In September and October we will be offering draught proofing to Queens Park residents along with subsidised materials available from a local hardwear store.  For more information please call Allison on 0208 964 8024 or email allison@pdt.org.uk
