A care homes group, which runs 10 homes across the county, has launched an energy- saving scheme that will cut fuel bills and help the environment.

Heart of England Housing and Care has teamed up with Worcestershire Energy Efficiency Advice Centre to run a programme that will help care home staff become energy efficient.

The Energy Efficient Scheme for Employers and Employees offers discounts on energy saving measures such as loft and cavity wall insulation and energy efficient boilers, which could see savings of around £250 a year.
