Branches’ £1,000 boost for charity


SELECT’s big-hearted Branches have made a £1,000 donation to the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) to help it continue its vital work during the pandemic.


Branch Chairs agreed to donate £100 from their funds to assist the charity, with SELECT making up the rest. SELECT President Donald W Orr said: “The EIC is close to all our hearts and, in a normal year, SELECT would support it with fundraising events like the President’s Walk, the Teddy Bears’ Picnic and the SELECT Awards.


“Despite such events being currently suspended, we were keen that our support would still continue, so it was felt that a donation from the Branches would be a fi tting alternative. “I would like to thank each


SELECT Branch for its generosity and agreeing to support such a worthwhile cause, which continues to off er vital help to those in our industry who need it most.”


The funds will


now help the EIC as it off ers fi nancial assistance, emotional support and a range of other practical advice and guidance to


the electrical sector. EIC CEO Tessa Ogle said: “I would like to thank SELECT and its Branch Chairs for thinking of the EIC at this challenging time for us all – it means the world. “Your donation is so generous and will


go such a long way in supporting our sector. Now more than ever, people are in real need of our help and these funds will help us support SELECT Members and their fellow electrical professionals.”
