Helping Hands

Empowering our employees to support their own communities is something we are proud to deliver through our scheme. Staff can nominate an individual, group or organisation to receive sponsorship from Power NI, a rewarding opportunity for all!

Brighter Communities and Helping Hands in 2023

In 2023, our Helping Hands and Brighter Communities initiatives have helped local communities across Northern Ireland, from Ballymena to Enniskillen, with a total of £20,000 funding being awarded. We are grateful to be a part of incredible stories like these that embody dedication, kindness, and transformation.

How we help local communities

Charity

Since 2008 we have raised over £80,000 for charities including Maire Curie, The Prince’s Trust, Action Mental Health and Dementia NI. Following the global Covid-19 pandemic Power NI launched the Community Response Fund which delivered both tangible and financial supports to over 43 community groups and support for over 13 different charities during an extremely challenging time.

Sponsorships & Partnerships

We provide sponsorship support to events, activities and organisations who match our positive and energising credentials. We also partner with groups and bodies to help mutually enhance the lives of everyone living here in Northern Ireland. Our initiatives span all ages from younger to older people which can be seen in the work we do with Age NI and The Mary Peter’s Trust.
