Author: Lozells Social Media Surgery: Tuesday 29th September …
Lozells’ third social media surgery will take place on Tuesday 29th September, from 5.30pm until 7.00pm, at the Methodist Church building on the corner of Lozells St and Gerrard St. As ever, the sessions are supported by Raj Rattu, Director of Community Consultancy, and BeVocal.org.uk.
Smart Meters – energy saving ideas
Family Housing are working with local residents around a new energy saving scheme which will see residents fitted with ’smart energy meters’. The meters help you to monitor just what electricity you are using at different times of the day. They show how savings can be made with just small adjustments to every day life.
Residents who want to participate in the scheme will need to have braodband inernet access at home, and should be willing to participate in the project to provide information about how the use of the meter has changed their energy using habits.
If you are interested in taking part, please contact Samantha Joseph at Family Housing on 0121 766 1100

Yesterday’s social media surgery
The social media surgery at the Methodist Church was a great success, with a good balance between the volunteers who turned up to pass on their knowledge about Wordpress, Twitter, etc., and local people who wanted to learn about them.
There was also a good range of abilities, from people who didn’t even have an email address to people who just needed a point in the right direction and were able to set up blogs there and then.
