Practical Support Programme (PPP)
Practical Support Programme (PPP)
Our invaluable stakeholders within the electrical and energy industries are perfectly placed to support this initiative. When handing out financial grants to people in need of building rectification or modification to assist with disability access, we often require practical assistance in terms of building materials, engineering and installation skills and equipment to support the upgrades.
Another way our industry can support the Charity is to participate in our Practical Support Programme which allows individuals and companies to provide services and materials on a voluntary basis and as a result dramatically reduce the cost of these projects.
The Practical Participation Programme harnesses your specialist skills in terms of time, equipment and materials – providing practical help where it is needed most.
You will work alongside the EIC (and our leading charity partners) in solving or contributing to solutions, for those in desperate need of your help. Once you have registered as a PPP partner we will approach you on an as-needed basis to ask for your assistance.

Client Story
From Hardship to Hope: How EIC Helped an Electrician Rebuild His Life
An experienced electrician reached out to the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) while struggling with mental health challenges. Diagnosed with PTSD and currently taking medication for ADHD, he has shown remarkable determination in rebuilding his life and returning to work. Over the past nine years, he has faced significant personal and professional setbacks, yet his resilience and commitment to recovery have remained.
Recently re-housed after a period of homelessness, he received crucial emotional support from the EIC through counselling sessions, helping to stabilise his wellbeing as he worked towards long-term recovery.
Alongside emotional support, the EIC also provided practical assistance. When they learned he had moved into a property without essential appliances, they arranged for the delivery and installation of a new washing machine and electric cooker. The Charity also handled the removal and disposal of the old units, ensuring the process was smooth and stress-free.
To further support his transition into a stable home environment, the EIC partnered with the Lighthouse Charity, which supplied a double bed, mattress, and bedding. Additional needs, such as a sofa, were referred to the Rainy Day Trust for potential support. Now, feeling settled in his new home and excited for what the future holds, he is looking ahead with renewed confidence and hope.
