REPOWER Mornington Peninsula volunteers have been busy visiting Community Support Centres across the Peninsula to donate home energy kits for clients in need. These kits contain draft-proofing and other easy to install items that are ideal for people living in rental properties that are not well insulated. These low-tech solutions will help keep the residents a bit warmer, without the need for landlords’ approval or installation.
This is part of a trial program Repower is running this winter. So far kits have been donated to the Mornington, Western Port and Southern Peninsula Community Support Centres. If the program proves successful Repower may donate additional kits, to further meet their aim of giving back to the community while supporting local environmental sustainability.
The money for these kits comes from Repower’s Community Investment Trust Fund. Donations are generated from Repower’s trusted business partners through successful referrals from the Repower and Save online tool, Repower website and word of mouth recommendations.
Every time a Mornington Peninsula resident chooses to use one of these suppliers, and mentions Repower as their referral, the fund gets a little top up. It is a way these local businesses also give back to their community.
