British Gas

📺 Keep an eye out for our brand new ad campaign, fronted by Tom Daley, which launches tonight on Channel 4 during The Great British Bake Off. If you've got a busted boiler with no heating or hot water, we'll be there same day if you contact us before 11am ⏲️. You don’t even need to be a customer. Here's a sneak peak 👀

We joined British Gas Energy Trust at a recent roundtable in Newcastle. Representatives from Citizens Advice joined organisations from across the north east to discuss interventions that could support those experiencing fuel poverty. A common theme was the importance of providing face-to-face support. Many of the frontline organisations shared instances of successful intervention after taking services into well-known community hubs, as individuals felt more comfortable to ask for help in a familiar space. The Trust is now 20 years old, and since 2004 has contributed over £200 million in donations, helping more than 2.2 million people across the UK. Find out more here👉 https://lnkd.in/dxAzFnM

What does a smart energy system look like? How will we bring UK homeowners along on the Net Zero Transition? 🏠💚 These were the topic up for discussion on BBC Radio 4’s The Bottom Line with Evan Davis. Hamish Phillips from our British Gas Net Zero team was joined by Cordi O'Hara OBE FEI, president of UK electricity distribution at National Grid and ⚡️Jordan Brompton, co-founder of myenergi. The panel discussed making the energy grid more flexible with the integration of smart technology, alongside tackling the costs of the energy transition and ensuring that homeowners are engaged in the process. 📻 Listen in here https://lnkd.in/eum8He-r

Time to check in with our community champions... 🏆💙🙌 As we head into autumn our volunteers show no signs of slowing down! 🍲 Teams from Operational Excellence recently spent a meaningful day volunteering at a local Food Bank hub, helping to organise and prepare food shipments for regional facilities. 🖌️ Our West Fife engineers returned to the Seamab Care Campus to carry out much needed painting, building sheds and other DIY tasks. 👟 It was wet 13.1 miles in the North East as Team Centrica braved the weather to compete in the Great North Run, raising funds for National Energy Action who work to end fuel poverty in England. 🌊 Sayf Al -Hadi's Change Team delivered change with a difference as they took part in a litter pick organised in partnership with the Marine Conservation Society. Each piece of rubbish collected was submitted to the M.C.S. nationwide data survey, contributing to the welfare of our oceans, and sea creatures.

Meet our females in the field 💪🏽💚 We brought together over 100 female engineers (and some or their male allies) for our second Females in the Field event. Over the past 18 months, we've worked to unite countless female, field-based colleagues to discuss the unique challenges they face. These conversations provide invaluable insights, helping us create a more inclusive environment for all, as we look to encourage more women into a career in engineering. 💙 Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for Centrica, Kat Parsons was on hand to experience the incredible power of connection and shared stories. #Diversity #Inclusion #Empowerment #FemalesInTheField #FemaleEngineers #MoreThanACareer

We're joining a consortium aimed at revolutionising the retrofitting of social housing 🏡💚 Alongside NatWest, Places for People, Sero and Tallarna, we’re using data from 1,000 households to quantify the environmental, financial and health benefits for residents of reaching #NetZero. The pilot aims to reduce energy costs for social housing residents and reduce the cost barriers associated with retrofits. It's just another way we're energising a greener, fairer future.
