For over a century, the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) has been the unwavering cornerstone of support for those in need within the electrical and energy sectors. As we proudly mark our 120-year milestone, we reflect on a legacy built on resilience, compassion, and an unyielding commitment to the industry.
From Humble Beginnings to a Vital Lifeline
Founded in 1905, the EIC has transformed from modest origins into a vital resource for countless individuals and families across the industry. Through financial assistance, emotional support and access to invaluable resources, we have helped turn challenges into opportunities for thousands. Our enduring mission stands as a testament to the dedication of our supporters, volunteers and partners.
