E.ON UK - We test you rest

E.ON UK has worked in partnership with Age Concern for eight years to deliver a series of electric blanket testing sessions for the elderly. All of the tests are carried out free of charge - with a free repair or replacement policy for all those that fail.

E.ON's investment:

£162,000 in 2005; £188,000 in 2006

Project Achievements:

Over 30,000 blankets have been tested and over 21,000 of these have been replaced. In addition, each year 5,000 house fires are caused by electric blankets, educating people on the dangers of using old or worn blankets contributes to preventing death and injury.

Why LBG for Community Partners?

LBG corporate members increasingly require their community partners to understand the business need to measure results and to use the LBG model as a framework for measurement and reporting.

In response to this need, LBG for Community Partners was launched to help community organisations:

  • understand the LBG model and why businesses use it
  • monitor and report on existing projects using the LBG framework
  • establish a common language with corporate sponsors
  • use the LBG model as an internal management tool
  • utilise a recognised format for presenting potential projects

Open workshops provide:

  • a comprehensive introduction to the LBG model
  • examples of best practice in LBG measurement
  • interactive exercises to familiarise participants with the model
  • individual assistance in applying the LBG model to participants’ current projects
  • a workshop manual for future reference
  • an extensive list of key performance indicators

Delegate numbers are limited in order to facilitate open discussion and participant involvement.
