Our Social Impact teams

Our Social Impact teams - located in the UK and US - are our social conscience, supporting the business to access communities through partnerships and enable the creation of social mobility and social value for those who need it most. They partner with all business units and functions, providing expertise and coaching as they develop credible social impact plans.  

These teams support the business to meet their community commitments and provide transparency on performance through monthly Social Impact Working Group governance.  We aspire to be recognised as a business leader in social sustainability, underpinned by the Grid for Good brand.

 

Grid for Good

Grid for Good is a global community investment programme powered by employee volunteers. The aim is to deliver a positive impact to socio-economically disadvantaged youth in the UK and US.  

The programme includes helping communities understand the energy transition, supporting educators with STEM and governing the Energy Affordability Fund and how National Grid responds to the rising cost of living and its effects on the most vulnerable in society.
