Cancer. The big C.

It is a disease we are all afraid of, yet many of us will come into direct contact with it over the course of our lives, in our communities, even within our own home.

Cancer starts when cells change abnormally. There are more than 200 different types of cancer, and one in two people in the UK will get cancer in their lifetime.

Yet thanks to ongoing research and medical help many people are cured. That's the story we need to tell. That we can fight it. That we can make a difference.

Cancer is more than just a medical diagnosis—it’s a deeply personal matter. And behind every single diagnosis lies a unique human story.

Those stories of grief, pain, healing, resilience, love and more. Individual stories. Family stories.

On this year's consider the people at the heart of this struggle, not the disease itself. Compassion, empathy, kindness, all these things can help someone going through such a tough time.

Managing customer expectations and ensuring a great customer journey are just as important as the work that is carried out.

Managing your customer’s needs - and delivering something that is even beyond their expectation - is something that should be key to every service offering.

At Westdale Midlands we listen to the needs of the community and develop bespoke plans for our partners.

Community is everything to us.

When we’re awarded a new contract, we’re always committed to delivering a regeneration programme that will have both short and long term benefits to the community involved. At the start of each project, an invitation is sent to all residents to join us at our open evening – this is an event where our programme of delivery will be explained, and we’ll display the products we’ll use.

Big Energy Savings Week! 🏘️

Big Energy Saving Week takes place from January 17-24 - and is a national campaign focused on helping individuals learn how to cut their energy bills and get all the financial support they are entitled to.

The initiative, led by the Energy Saving Trust in partnership with Citizens Advice and the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy, aims to raise public awareness about the importance of energy efficiency and the simple steps that can be taken to make homes more energy-efficient.

Big Energy Saving Week provides valuable information and resources on how to save energy, reduce carbon emissions, and lower energy costs, particularly crucial during the colder months. The campaign includes a range of activities, from workshops and events to online advice and tools, all designed to empower consumers to make informed decisions about their energy use.

You can also use this week to get into the habit of adopting simple changes, like switching off lights, unplugging unused devices, and using energy-efficient appliances - all of which can help reduce costs.

These small adjustments can lead to lower household expenses but can also ease financial pressure on individuals, couples and families.

As we mark , we would like to highlight the wide range of different schemes across the UK to help improve the energy efficiency of homes. Most of these are targeted at lower income households living in less energy efficient properties. Some schemes are taxpayer funded, others are delivered by energy suppliers and funded through a levy on energy bills.

The Energy Efficiency Obligation (ECO) has been the main energy efficiency scheme over the last decade delivering 4.1 million measures in 2.5 million homes between 2013 and autumn 2024. It is funded by a levy on household energy bills, but the Government sets the overall scheme targets and rules.

Insulation can play a major part in energy saving and energy efficiency. An estimated 5.1 million properties in Great Britain with cavity walls have no cavity wall insulation, while around 7.9 million homes with lofts have less than 125mm of loft insulation. And 7.7 million homes with solid walls do not have solid wall insulation.

Across the Westdale Group we are committed to helping as many people as possible save money. Our primary goal is to provide energy-saving services that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of a commercial or residential property but also deliver long-term cost savings too.

Our services encompass a range of energy-efficient solutions, from External Wall Insulation to solar panel and Air Source Heat Pump installation, draught-proofing, battery storage solutions and window and door upgrades, all designed to optimise energy saving and sustainable home improvements.

For us it’s more than refurbishing homes, it’s enriching the lives of the residents too. 😀

👏 A real milestone! 👏

1,000 homes have now been upgraded and made more energy efficient in . 🏘️

That is the halfway mark in Wave 2 of Citizen's SHDF project – which suffice to say, we are very proud to be playing our part in!

What a transformative, inspiring and purposeful project!

Westdale Midlands director Adrian Bishop says: “It’s fantastic that the 1000th home has been recognised on this Wave 2 Coventry scheme.

“I know at first hand the effort my team has put into delivering the major share of all work completed on this Wave 2 project, and I am incredibly grateful for their efforts, skill and talent, along with our great workforce who have achieved this on our behalf.

“Working closely with the passionate people at Citizen Housing, and enjoying the sterling support from Coventry College, clearly demonstrates that when a true collaboration comes together, and work is undertaken as a team, great things can actually be achieved!

“Our third party stakeholders CC Ltd and Property Tectonics have also played a key role in making this a success, and our thanks go out to them.

“We will now push on and ensure that all properties are completed on this trailblazing SHDF Wave 2 scheme, but before we press the restart button, and with Christmas almost upon us, we will have a well deserved rest and be ready to kick-start again at the beginning of 2025.

“Happy Christmas to all involved in this wonderful project, with a big shout out also for the residents, who whilst having some disruption by the very nature of this extensive programme of works, should now be enjoying warmer homes. These properties are not only more affordable to heat but enjoy a newly upgraded appearance. A home for residents to be proud of.” 🏘️ 😊

📣 Calling construction workers who are living in the or area who are looking for work and/or a new career path. Have you had some experience in the construction industry? If so, then this could be just up your street! 🏡

We're offering free training courses in the application of External Wall Insulation systems. Not only that, but we pay you an expenses allowance whilst you are on the course. We're currently completing the external upgrade and refurbishment of 1500 properties in and around Coventry and Nuneaton - and if you show the right aptitude, dedication and desire to learn then we can train you to be a part of this exciting project!

The EWI systems are basically in two stages; a dry and a wet stage. The dry is fixing insulation boards to the outside of the house, while the wet is rendering with a variety of finishes. So, if you have some DIY skills or have even worked on building sites doing dry walling, plaster-boarding, tiling or carpentry then the boarding part of the course would more likely be best suited to you. On the other hand, if you have some DIY skills or have worked on a building site doing plastering or screeding then the rendering process is for you. Those successfully completing the course and passing the assessment will be offered full-time employment. If this opportunity feels right for you, then take the plunge! You could be starting a New Year with a new career! What have you got to lose?

👉 The 12-week training course starts on the 13th January 2025
and there are some spaces still available.
📣 Contact us on: 01952 677926.
