Organisations can support the Electrical Industries Charity and the colleagues it helps every year by joining forces with the EIC. There are two big ways you can support the EIC by becoming an EIC Wellbeing Champion or partnering with the EIC through a Commercial Agreement (CA). 

Wellbeing Champion businesses 

An EIC Wellbeing Champion business promotes positive wellbeing within their organisation and aims to support employees the best they can. To help achieve this, the EIC offers all EIC Champion businesses access to tailor made resources and wellbeing presentations as well as extended access to the EAP provided by the EIC. 

 Wellbeing Champions recognise the overwhelming need for support in the industry – they strive to ensure the Charity remains relevant, accessible, and thought-provoking. EIC Champions help to shape the Charity’s work within the industry by sharing their experiences and needs, as well as being ambassadors for the Charity. The EIC champions programme focuses on six core values set out by the 10 founding electrical and energy industry members in 1905.

The Wellbeing Champions programme is open to anyone who is working or has worked within the electrical and energy sector. 

CA partnerships 

CA partnerships are focused on electrical wholesalers and manufacturers. A CA partner organisation fundraises for the Charity through the sale of certain products or services. As a CA partner your product line directly donates to sector colleagues in need and by joining the CA you receive a bespoke marketing campaign advertising the partnership across multimedia and events. 

 CA is focused on benefitting all parties involved – the Charity gains much needed financial support, a Charity ambassador, and more visibility within the industry. As a CA partner you get profile from the Charity, a true partnership that supports the supply chain, a focused CSR initiative that encompasses your entire supply chain, the ability to change the financial sustainably of your industry Charity for generations to come and, most importantly, promotion of the support services to customers who need it the most. 

To keep free and confidential services available to the industry, EIC rely on organisations and individuals to help in many ways. With the demand for services growing tenfold, it is likely now more than ever that an industry colleague, an employee, or a customer you know has had or needs support from the Charity. By becoming a CA partner, you are ensuring the Charity can support more industry people in need when they are faced with challenging times. 

 Through this partnership you gain additional Charity support services for your employees and their immediate family members should they need it. Most importantly, you are leading the industry by showing the importance of giving back to the community and specifically the industry Charity, which was created by industry members to serve industry members. As a CA partner you are not only supporting your industries Charity to be sustainable for future generations, but you are also gaining a partner who is leading industry change.
