Grid for Good is an energy industry programme delivering a positive impact to disadvantaged young people.
About us
Grid for Good is a flagship energy industry programme led by National Grid to deliver a positive impact to socio-economically disadvantaged young people. The scheme sees us working with our supply chain partners to provide training and employment opportunities for young people and with charities to access a diverse range of talented young people with the power to help us reach our net zero goals. Grid for Good is all about helping young people, aged 16-25, who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our charity partners will seek out the young people who can benefit from the scheme, but we’re targeting the following groups of young people with the scheme: Ex-offenders Those with low educational attainment The recently unemployed Those from ethnically diverse backgrounds and facing extra socio-economic disadvantage or are ex-offenders. To date we’ve already helped over 1000 young people and have 600 National Grid employees registered as volunteers. Our goals are to deliver: 12,000 volunteering hours, positively impacting 4,000 young people, in our first year. 125,000 volunteering hours, positively impacting 22,500 young people, by 2030.
