CORE FUNDER
Our core funding this year came from a successful application with the Community Fund of then National Lottery. The National Lottery Community Fund distributes over £600m a year to communities across the UK, raised by players of The National Lottery.
CHILDREN'S ZONE SPONSOR
The future of energy is in focus now more than ever, and it is our responsibility to ensure nobody is excluded from playing their part to combat climate change.
- Supporting young black and ethnic minority people to overcome disadvantages and discrimination and help them move into ambitious careers as professionals in the Energy Industry.
- Black and minority ethnic focused charities have been systemically underfunded so we are building close partnerships and providing financial support to sustainable and community-driven charities that care about anti-racism and sustainability, locally and internationally.
As a company, we totally transformed our recruitment process in 2020, and set up our very own diversity internship programme to address the representation of Black, African and Caribbean people in the Energy and Tech industries. The first internship took place in 2021 and each year the internship has grown in its reach and impact (read all about it on our blog)
