An exciting new partnership

We have joined forces with three top U.K. energy distributors – Northern Gas Networks (NGN), Cadent, and UKPower Networks (UKPN) – in a collaborative effort to support and safeguard more carents.

Our partnership will help us build our offer of support and reach more carents. Together these networks provide the essential infrastructure to supply power and energy to the majority of homes in England and they want to support carents and their elderly parents too. They help directly by providing extra support in emergencies and by funding helpful equipment such as locking cooker valves. Most importantly they are committed to helping us help you!

We are very grateful to EIC who were instrumental in helping us forge this exciting new chapter in our story and look forward to seeing our partnership flourish.
