Don’t miss out on this opportunity… Bring energy and wildlife to your classroom.
Your School’s chance to take part in the Big Switch Off 2010
The Big Switch Off Campaign will be taking place between 11th – 17th October this year. Your school can make a real difference by embracing energy efficiency message through both curricular and extra curricular activities.
Children are the most effective catalyst to pass on the Big Switch Off message to their friends, families and communities. We have developed a Teaching Pack that offers all what you need to deliver an energy efficiency session in your class. The Teaching Pack includes key background information, lesson plans, activity resources and competition information. To download the Teaching Pack visit www.leics.gov.uk/bigswitchoff. More »
Ask your students to design a Big Switch Off Super Hero and they could win some exciting prizes. Primary school children across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland are being invited to design their own caped crusaders to promote this year’s Big Switch Off campaign. Children who take part in the contest will be asked to give their superhero a name, costume, special gadgets and outline their unique super powers. For further information please download the competition guidance note at www.leics.gov.uk/bsocompetitions.
Entries will be judged by a panel, including a graphic designer, and the winning design will be worked up professionally and blown up to full size. The Key Stage one winner will receive a scooter and the Key Stage two winner a bicycle, while the schools they belong to will win a wildlife outreach day by Twycross Zoo. This could be your Super Hero…
To support the campaign ask your students and staff to make an on-line pledge. Visit www.leics.gov.uk/bsopledge

Calor FREE
Almost one in six households in some rural parts are classed as fuel poor, according to the first ever heat map of England.
The research found as many as 14 per cent of families living in countryside communities are spending more than a tenth of their household income just on heating their homes.
In Leicestershire & Rutland it would appear that the main areas of fuel poverty occur around the Vale of Belvoir and in parts of North West Leicestershire, but there may be more people affected than have been so far identified. More »
RCC Leicestershire & Rutland are working on an initiative funded by Calor to help tackle fuel poverty and promote energy efficiency in off-gas grid communities. The project aims to highlight the complexities associated with living off mains gas in the county. The RCC will be working with fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA) and Calor to offer independent information and advice to off-gas grid households and communities to help improve energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint.
If you live in a rural area that does not have mains gas and spend more than 10% of your income on fuel then the RCC would be interested to hear from you.
