Jail or Bail: Join the Fun and Help EIC Celebrate 120 Years!

As part of its 120th-anniversary celebrations, the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) is kicking off 2025 with a fundraising event like no other! On 23 January 2025, a group of brave participants will take part in the EIC’s Jail or Bail challenge, all in the name of raising vital funds for the charity’s life-changing work.

In this exciting event, volunteers—including EIC trustees and team members—will be “locked up” for the day with one key objective: raising a collective £12,000 in “bail” to secure their release. Calling on friends, colleagues, and supporters from across the electrical industry, these determined fundraisers will rely on the generosity of the community to achieve their goal.

Every pound donated will bring the participants closer to freedom and will make a significant difference in the lives of those in the electrical sector who rely on EIC’s support. From providing emotional and financial assistance to offering practical help, the charity continues to empower individuals and families through difficult times.

Meet the ‘Inmates’

The Jail or Bail challenge wouldn’t be complete without the daring fundraisers stepping up to be “locked away” for the day. This team of trustees and EIC staff are ready to take on the challenge, rallying their networks to help raise the £12,000 bail needed for release.

Each of these inmates brings their own story, passion, and determination to the table.
