Virgin London Marathon ‒ Electrical Industries Charity
With 40,000 runners out in force to raise money for their individual charities, the atmosphere at the Virgin London Marathon was buzzing. Eight strong individuals took on the challenge to represent the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) at this year’s event. They shed blood, sweat and tears to train for the gruelling 26-mile run. The EIC would like to express our sincere thanks to Mike Allen, Tom Panton, Mel Dean, Bruno Seguin, Eleena Psomadakis, Philippe Guerin, Neville Pellatt and James Lawrence.
Mel reported to us, “I thoroughly enjoyed it although [I was] completely exhausted at the end so just wanted to get home and sleep! I managed to achieve 5 hours 38 minutes, which I was really pleased with. Over an hour off my 2016 time and well under my target of 6 hours.” It is great to see personal bests come through and as a charity we love to see our supporters having fun and achieving their goals.
Essential support for young talent
The Electrical Industries Charity recognises the importance of the essential support network for young talent in the electrical industry and launched the Apprentice Support Programme to help apprentices to create a career they deserve.
Apprenticeships offer a unique opportunity for a young person in the electrical industry to earn and learn while gaining invaluable training and life skills. Although there are a lot of young people in the electrical sector who are trying to build their career, for some, this is not an option due to unforeseen circumstances in their lives.
The Electrical Industries Charity provides the essential support for new talent in electrical sector
Every so often no matter how old or young you are, we all go through challenging situations in our lives and need a bit of support when trying to create a better future. Most of us have that support network which keeps us going towards reaching a goal. But others are in need of a helping hand to give them the strength and motivation to keep going.
The Electrical Industries Charity designed the Apprentice Support Programme which recognises the resilience of young people in the electrical industry and delivers the services to ensure that they get the right support to create a promising career path for themselves.
