Tenants at housing developments around West Lothian are benefiting from the roll out of air fryers and cookers in a bid to help reduce energy consumption.
The cooking equipment has been gifted to 688 Bield tenants as the provider received £33,000 from the Social Housing Fuel Support Fund – Round Two, funded by the Scottish Government and administered by the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA).
In West Lothian, tenants at Blackfaulds Court, Craigengar Park, Pentland View Court, South Loch Park, St Andrews Court and St Ninians Road received the new appliances.
The roll out is part of an ongoing drive to integrate energy efficient and sustainable measures across Bield’s operations and 5,000 plus properties.
As part of the roll out, Bield also created a recipe book with six different meal suggestions that can be made in an air fryer/slow cooker. The book was designed to help inspire tenants to make healthy food choices with their new equipment.
Tracey Howatt, Director of Customer Experience at Bield said: “The roll out of these cooking appliances is just one of the proactive ways we are looking to raise awareness of energy and sustainability issues.”
