Lisburn Hard of Hearing Group
Hearing Link
The Lisburn Hard of Hearing Group was first established over 13 years ago. Members meet on the first Wednesday of each month and have a great programme of interesting activities lined up. They have recently moved premises and now meet at The Bridge Community Centre in Lisburn. Members felt this was a great opportunity to encourage new people to attend.
Group member, Betty Conor said, ‘I have been attending the group for over 10 years, I really enjoy it and look forward to it every month. Some months we have guest speakers, others we do activities like keep fit and there are other times when we go out for a meal. I have honestly met some life-long friends through the group’.
Another group member, Lorretta Fleming said, ‘there’s still a stigma associated with hearing loss. The name of the group might put people off attending, especially if they haven’t quite accepted they are hard of hearing. Once people get past this they can just come along and relax with others who know what it’s like.
The group is supported by the SEHSCT and also UK wide hearing loss charity – Hearing Link.

NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
