5th Day of Christmas…Electrical Fire Safety
Switch off all lights & decorations last thing at night. Even lights & decorations need a break. Never overload plugs or extension leads as this causes overheating and possibly a fire. Buy and use electrical products that are CE marked.
Look For Local this Christmas
If we all #LookForLocal this Winter, we’ll be supporting small businesses, jobs and communities. It works for everyone!
How can you support Look for Local?
When you are out and about this Winter, look for local products, services and experiences that you can avail of.
When you Look for Local the money you spend will benefit several different businesses in that area and every Euro that you give to a local business is an investment in that community.
