Renewable Energy Project: Solar Panels
The Parkholme Community Child Care centre provides long daycare services to the local community. Back in 2016 we loaned the centre the funds for LED lighting (since fully repaid into our revolving fund – Project 10), and now we have funded a 15kW solar installation for them.
