ELECTRICITY workers put their energy to good use to support a Southampton charity.

A team of 11 volunteers from SSE painted five bedrooms at Wessex Heartbeat’s Heartbeat House, which provides a free place to stay so that relatives of heart patients can be close to their loved ones while they’re treated.

The charity relies on support from businesses and individuals to run the service, which costs more than £100,000 a year.
