Local energy charity The Footprint Trust has been awarded a generous grant for 1,000 thermometers to support Isle of Wight residents in monitoring and managing the heating of their homes more efficiently.
This vital funding will help empower locals to take control of their energy usage, save money, and stay warm during the winter months.
With this grant, The Footprint Trust is introducing a simple, yet powerful tool: a temperature gauge that allows clients to easily assess whether their heating is set to an optimal level. This easy-to-read visual cue ensures residents can confidently manage their heating and stay comfortable, without wasting energy.
Petra Saunders, Senior Energy Guide at The Footprint Trust, has said:
“We are thrilled to have received this grant and are excited to help residents reduce their energy bills.
“The temperature gauge is a simple but effective tool that shows whether your heating is too high or too low, making it easier to take action. Thanks to the fantastic support from Wight Aid, we can now provide this valuable resource to every client, raising awareness of energy efficiency and sustainability.
“We want to ensure that everyone on the Isle of Wight knows they can contact us easily, whether it’s for help managing their heating or for more guidance on making their homes more energy-efficient.”
By using these temperature gauges, clients are not only able to monitor their home heating, but also make small lifestyle changes that lead to big savings. Reduced energy usage means lower bills, and every small step contributes to a more sustainable future by lowering individual carbon footprints.
Clients will now have The Footprint Trust’s contact details directly on their temperature gauge, making it even easier to reach out and access the help they need.
The Footprint Trust is proud to continue its mission of supporting residents with energy-saving solutions and raising awareness of services that can help make a lasting difference.

Pointless, most people have temperature readouts on the boiler controller or a thermometer and would know how much it is costing them.
It’s costing too much, and we have lost our
Winter fuel allowance.
The Government are giving it to their foreign friends.
Simple, feel cold? Put a jumper on.
Thermals are also a good idea.
