​Good For The Hood partnered with Ku-ring-gai, Lane Cove, and Camden councils. 

With the theme ‘Time to Shine’, the festival was all about celebrating seniors and helping them stay connected, independent, and informed. And what better way to do that than through sustainability and helping them save money on energy bills?

Why is Seniors Week so important?

Each state celebrates Seniors weeks at different times of year: 

February: New South Wales (NSW), Australian Capital Territory (ACT)

March: Australian Capital Territory (ACT)

August: Queensland (QLD), Northern Territory (NT)

October: Victoria (VIC), South Australia (SA), Tasmania (TAS)

November: Western Australia (WA)

Why Energy Saving Matters for Seniors

No one is immune from cost of living pressures but seniors can be more vulnerable than most. For those on fixed income, rising bills can mean other compromises have to be made on the family budget. This can mean those who are already vulnerable from temperature extremes may be at greater risk to their health and well-being.

How We Can Help Seniors

By focusing on energy efficiency at the festival, we helped seniors:

• Cut Energy Bills: They learned simple ways to reduce electricity costs and make homes more energy-efficient.
• Stay Comfortable Year-Round: We showed them easy changes to keep their homes warm in winter and cool in summer without breaking the bank.
• Connect with Others: They learned alongside others facing similar challenges, and had the opportunity to share experiences while they gained practical tips to take control of their energy costs.

Small changes lead to big savings, and our workshops make it easy for seniors to lower their bills while staying comfortable at home.
