Transition West Hampstead, a local group dedicated to making West Hampstead and Fortune Green a more sustainable place to live has been promoting a series of Draught busting workshops. Anyone with an old West Hampstead property will know that sash windows can be a real bain if your trying to keep your home warm.
These workshops should give you some great pointers and lead to you spending less on your energy bill and causing less carbon emissions at the same time.
Details of many of them in the series below (you only need to go to one!)
Although the venue isn't given, I understand several are fairly local.
Beat the Winter Chill with Free Draught Busting Workshops for Camden Residents (and beyond if there's room!)In collaboration with Camden Council the Transition Belsize Draught Busting Team are very pleased to announce the next set of dates for workshops this winter to help Camden residents beat the winter chill, save money on fuel bills and cut tonnes of CO2.
Our hands-on workshops are delivered by the Transition Belsize Draught Busting Team - Lauren, Patrick and Sarah, and are held locally in a Camden home.
During the workshop you will be shown how to install high quality draught proofing materials to wooden framed sash windows and doors.
Every attendee will receive £20 worth of free draught proofing to get started on their own homes.
We are keen to find Camden residents who would like to offer their homes as a host venue for a workshop. Hosts will be given £40 worth of draught proofing.
The next dates for 2012 are:
Wednesday 18 January 1-4pm
Saturday 21 January 1.30-4.30pm
Saturday 28 January 1.30-4.30pm
Friday 3 February 1-4pm
