Electrical Industries Charity

The Charity funds direct welfare grants and support for current or former sector workers—regardless of age or career stage, from apprentices to retirees—and their dependents across the UK. Support addresses acute needs such as mental illness, injuries, unemployment, and emergencies, with person-centred interventions including mental health services, counselling, legal advice, advocacy, and practical assistance for issues like bereavement, disability, ill health, redundancy, and financial crises. The Charity also occasionally supports invited sector-wide collaborative initiatives or awareness campaigns.

Eligibility is tightly restricted to UK-based individuals and families with clear industry ties to the electrical, electronics, or energy sectors. Current or former workers at any career stage, from apprentices to retirees, and their dependents may apply. Charities and organisations are not routinely eligible. The Charity does not accept unsolicited applications; individuals seeking support should use the online application route on the website.

The Charity does not fund organisations or charities as a routine practice. Unsolicited applications from organisations are not accepted. Support is limited to individuals and families with direct connections to the electrical, electronics, or energy industries; those without such ties are not eligible.
