Upcoming dates for your diary
Like to know more about scams – and how to keep safe?
Most of us know someone who has been scammed – on the phone, via text messages, through email, fake websites or instant message services like Messenger and WhatsApp.
Come along to Grantchester Community Hub on Friday 6th February for top security tips and advice from Nigel Sutton, Fraud and Cyber Prevention Team at Cambridgeshire Police.
You’ll get expert, practical advice on how to challenge what you are hearing or reading and what to do.
We’ll be talking about current scams being used against local people across the county and will offer you a booklet at the end of the talk providing you with more scam advice and most importantly how to protect yourself from criminals and fraudsters.
The talk begins at 10:30am but the hub is open 10am to 12 noon and offers free refreshments. Join us at Grantchester Communal Hall, Tabrum Close, Grantchester, Cambridge, CB3 9NW.
Moments that matter
Moments-That-Matter-FlyerThermal imaging for a cosier home
Once again, Cambridge Carbon Footprint are offering residents and organisations across Cambridgeshire the opportunity to borrow and learn how to use a thermal imaging camera for free. Join a one-hour online training session to learn how to interpret thermal images, identify draughts, gaps in insulation, and heating problems, and to make your home cozier and more energy efficient. Great for homeowners and renters alike! They also encourage individuals, organisations and community groups to undertake training to survey multiple properties within their community.
In 2024, volunteers from communities across Cambridgeshire undertook surveys of 113 neighboring homes and community buildings, adding to the 325 properties that were surveyed by individuals who had attended the training for their own homes, a full report can be found here.
“Really useful tool for assessing the home’s heat loss and for planning improvements” – Borrower
Thermal Imaging Training Dates:
They only lend cameras to people who have attended the training. Loan periods are: Fri pm to Mon am, or Mon pm to Fri am, and cameras can be picked up from one of 18 volunteer camera hosts around South Cambs, Cambridge City and Huntingdonshire.
