Win a £5,000 Eco-Makeover for your home!

A £5,000 eco-friendly home makeover is up for grabs as part of a Scotland-wide competition to encourage the public to tackle climate change by taking steps to save energy.

To celebrate WWF Scotland’s new charity partnership with People’s Postcode Lottery the environmental charity has announced the launch of an amazing ‘Household climate-saver’ competition. One lucky Scottish household is set to win up to £5,000 worth of free energy-saving measures, which could include anything from loft insulation to draught-proofing through to the purchase of energy-saving gadgets and energy systems. All people have to do to enter is submit their details online, for free, via: www.winwithwwf.org

The winning home will be chosen at random and will receive a combination of the latest energy-efficiency measures donated by Knauf Insulation.

Following a free energy-saving survey, the winning home will be upgraded into one that is warmer, more comfortable, less expensive to run – and a whole lot better for the climate too. The winning home will be the envy of the whole street.

WWF Scotland’s Director, Dr Richard Dixon, said:

“Home energy use, particularly for space and water heating, accounts for nearly one third of climate changing emissions in Scotland. There is no doubt that making our homes warm and energy efficient is not only necessary to fight climate change, it is one of the most cost-effective ways of doing so.

“While we continue to campaign to make it possible for every home in the country to be energy-efficient, we are excited to be able to offer one lucky household the chance to win a free eco-friendly makeover. We are very grateful to People’s Postcode Lottery and Knauf Insulation for their support in making this possible.”

TV presenter and Charity Ambassador for People’s Postcode Lottery, Angus Purden, said:

“On the whole Scotland’s homes are pretty shocking when it comes to saving energy. The People’s Postcode Lottery is all about making a difference to local communities and that’s why I’m excited about our competition with WWF. I can’t wait to see just how much energy the winning household will save in the end. So, what are you waiting for? Enter online today.”

David Adams, Head of External Affairs of Knauf Insulation, said:

“Knauf Insulation wholeheartedly supports initiatives such as this, which aim to encourage home improvements that not only positively impact on the homeowner, in terms of improved levels of comfort and energy efficiency, but also on the environment as a whole. Insulation has a fundamental role to play in the fight against climate change and we are delighted to be working with WWF Scotland on such a great competition, demonstrating how Scottish households can introduce simple energy saving measures to truly make a difference.”
