ECA Suffolk, Ipswich and Eastern Region support the EIC this summer
ECA Eastern Region, Ipswich and Suffolk branches have
all dug deep to make a difference to sector peers in need this summer. This period continues to be a difficult time for many of our colleagues as the ramifications of the pandemic ripple throughout the entirety of the UK and the world. As we get back on our feet, some need a helping hand in finding their feet, and donations like the £100 and £250 from ECA Eastern region, Ipswich and Suffolk mean the Charity can assist more sector members as the world begins to open up again. Thank you to the branches and their members for continuing to make a difference to our industry.
RWE Supply & Trading donate again to make a difference
Following RWE Supply & Trading Charity Stand Down Hour, the organisation have donated even more funds to support sector colleagues and the vital work the EIC does to assist them. A further £500 donation from the organisation means we can continue to provide aid to the electrical and energy sector when they need it most. Thank you to RWE Supply & Trading for their ongoing support.
We would like to thank all our fundraising heroes for supporting their industy members during these challenging times.

GAMBICA 40 million steps
To celebrate GAMBICA’s 40th anniversary, the GAMBICA team and its members walked 10,000 steps a day every day in June; that’s 40 million steps in total! Association fundraisers which harness individual and team support from their members help to make a huge difference in funding for the Charity. GAMBICA have always supported the EIC, and this initiative is a great way to raise awareness for the EIC and funds. GAMBICA members are eligible for EIC support, and it is because of challenges like the 40 million steps that the EIC can support GAMBICA members.
A huge thank you from all at EIC for taking part in this monumental challenge, and the deepest thanks from all of our sector colleagues who your donations
will support.
