Fundraising dinner, Speyside Hotel, Grantown on Spey, 11 March 2023 at 6pm.
Wheels4Life is a non-profit charity, that provides bicycles to people in great need of transportation throughout the developing world. We work with volunteers in the field, local organisations and non profits, schools, community leaders and health care clinics they help us identify those people in genuine need of a bike. These people are those that live in both primative and remote areas, with no access to, nor the means of affording public transportation. The closest school, doctor, or work place might be as far as 10 to 20 miles away.The gift of mobility can make all the difference to a person’s life and help them to break out of the vicious cycle of poverty.
Between dinner courses three locals will talk about and share : A Lands End to John O’ Groats bike ride, Green and sustainable initiatives in Grantown on Spey and taking part in the World Butchers Challenge in the United States.
This is the final event of Sustainable Strathspey’s 2022/23 winter season of climate cafes with Home Energy Scotland, a local building expert and a local installer in attendance.
The general themes to be covered:
How to maximise the energy performance of an existing property to save energy.
Technical advice on insulation improvements and renewable technologies.
Advice on funding streams and practical considerations of undertaking such work.
