Carmarthenshire based Media social enterprise, Red Brand Media (RBM) has won significant funding to deliver a project, which will tackle Electrical Safety across the West Wales area.
The grant award will be spent on:
- Promoting Electrical Safety Information across social media and online news.
- Developing an Electrical Safety newspaper pull out in order to help spread awareness to the digitally excluded
- Attending events to help promote Electrical Safety.
Keith Evans-Hurley RBM Managing Director said:
“We would like to thank Electrical Safety First for awarding us this funding which once again provides us with the means to spread Electrical Safety awareness across the area.”
“We’ll be attending events in places such as Swansea, Llanelli, Carmarthen, Haverfordwest, Fishguard, Cardigan, Ammanford, Port Talbot, Neath, and promoting online to ensure that we get the message out to as many people as we possibly can.”
The Electrical Safety Fund is an annual grant scheme run by the charity Electrical Safety First. The Fund provides £1,000,000 to support community projects across the UK that aim to reduce domestic electrical risks.
Around half of all domestic fires in the UK are caused by electricity, with most of those arising from electrical products.
Lesley Rudd, chief executive at Electrical Safety First, said:
“We are delighted to award this grant to [name of organisation]. Our Electrical Safety Fund is designed to empower groups to help keep local people in their communities safe. Our website provides free advice for everyone to avoid fatal electrical fires and shocks in their home – visit electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk.”
“We’re currently in the process of launching our annual Christmas Campaign, Stay safe this winter/Remember the 3Cs.”
“These are, check the cable. Cost, is it too good to be true? And Christmas, it’s for celebrating, not casualty!”
