Are you renting in a draughty home in the Yarra?
Yarra is presenting four draughtproofing workshops for renters in April-May, in partnership with Yarra's neighbourhood houses and Electrify Yarra. The workshops will be facilitated by draughtproofing specialists from Sapien Group. Two of the workshops will have interpreter support.
Learn simple, do-it-yourself, rental-friendly ways to seal up gaps around windows and doors to make your home more comfortable in cold weather, and about your rights as a renter to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
Participants will take home a free draughtproofing kit to install at home.
Places are limited– booking is essential.
