September Community Newsletter

Smartline has approximately 300 project participants based in the Camborne, Pool, Illogan and Redruth community. The purpose of the Community Newsletter is to keep each household up to date with the latest project news and offer new opportunities.

Inside you’ll find a number of articles from the academics at the University of Exeter; they talk about advancing asthma research, how you’re contributing to our understanding of volunteering and how they will use your sensor data to reduce future energy bills.

There is also an article about the Food for Change programme, for those interested in learning how to grow, cook and trade food. There are a number of Food for Change activities available across Camborne, Pool and Redruth and sign up details are inside.

New Smartline community activities are regularly being setup so please get involved. Soon to start:

• Free exercise sessions at the Wesley Chapel every other week until January starting on September 21st. This will be followed by refreshments supported by the Red Cross.

• A 3 week IT awareness programme starting on November 1st at the Wesley Chapel for anyone in the local area that would like to become more confident in using their tablet or computer.

If you’d like to get involved with the community activities please contact Karen Spooner, KarenS@volunteercornwall.org.uk or 07968 706114.

The sensor maintenance program will start soon (running for 3-4 months), Blue flame will be in touch to arrange an appointment to check the sensors and replace any batteries required, as well as reward you with another £10 shopping voucher.

We hope you enjoy the newsletter and find it informative and inspiring. If you would like to suggest future topics or add content please contact us by emailing Smartline@exeter.ac.uk or calling us on 01872 258140.
