Wicklow has seen a significant increase in home energy upgrades in 2023 and is on course to double the amount of upgrades completed when compared with 2022.
Although Wicklow Men s Shed has been unable to meet at its usual Dispensary Lane venue because of Covid, that hasn t stopped members from doing their bit to help the local community.
Members of the local shed painted two bright and colourful buddy benches for The glebe NS on Church Hill with paint sponsored by The Brass Fox after being approached by the school committee.
Tom McInerney said: We were asked to paint some benches for the children in various colours to help brighten them up. The benches are a sort of friendship bench and provide a way to bond children attending the school together. We were delighted to help out and the school was very happy with the results.
