Elderly tenants of Liverpool Mutual Homes (LMH) in Toxteth have been given a helping hand to stay safely warm this winter after energy company E.ON donated 200 cold weather alarms worth a total of £5,000.

The alarms are designed to alert people when the temperature of a room is falling to a dangerously low level.

These alarms were included in LMH's gift packs, which were handed out to 200 residents who turned 80 last year, as part of its Winter Warmth Campaign. The packs also included a torch, hot water bottle, fleece and leaflets containing advice on how to stay warm.

This donation forms part of E.ON's ongoing relationship with LMH and work in Liverpool. Over the past two years, working under the Government's Community Energy Savings Programme, the energy company has assisted with insulation projects across LMH's properties to help improve energy efficiency and tackle fuel poverty.

Dave Mobbs, Regeneration Manager at LMH, said: "E.ON's cold weather alarms were a very welcome addition to our Winter Warmth packs. This practical device will help vulnerable residents to look after themselves during the winter months."
