Phoenix Natural Gas
Since being set up, Energy for Children has helped more than 3,000 disadvantaged children through a variety of projects.
In 2005, the company set up The Energy for Children Charitable Trust with the aim of reaching out to disadvantaged children throughout the Greater Belfast area and improving their lives. The Trust’s aim is to identify those causes that slip through the netprovided by other charities and to help disadvantaged children who might otherwise be forgotten. It is run on the principle that all money raised goes directly to projects benefiting children and young people. Helping to keep the overheads to zero, PNG provides all the administrative back-up the Trust needs.
Although the Trust was originally founded by PNG with the help of the local natural gas industry, it also looks for support from the wider commercial sector. George Best Belfast City Airport is just one of the prominent local businesses that have pledged to raise money for the charity. Since being set up, Energy for Children has helped more than 3,000 disadvantaged children through a variety of projects, and that number is growing every month.
