ENERGY FOR CHILDREN
CHARITABLE TRUST
Continues to break new ground and reach deeper into the heart of local communities throughout Greater Belfast and beyond in order to really make a difference to disadvantaged children’s lives. The Trust focuses on those needy causes that are slipping through the net of the more established Charity network and is founded on the principle that ‘all monies raised go directly to local children and young people’.
Behind the scenes, Phoenix provided all administrative support. Although the Trust was founded initially by the natural gas industry, it is now supported by a variety of different sectors and organisations locally as it continues to grow. Efforts to raise money are ongoing and the Trust would like to appeal for help from anyone who feels they are in a position to do something positive to help assist its progress in terms of offering support to disadvantaged children.
