**Future Energy, the energy supplier based in North-East England, has launched a
new Community Programme which is offering support to local community based organisations
and charities.**

 

The Future Energy Community Programme will help these organisations throughout the
North East to “achieve their goals”.

It will start in Tyneside and then, later this year, start expanding to the rest
of North East England.

 

Under the programme, Future Energy will:

 

 * devote time and resources to working with organisations
 * support their fundraising initiatives
 * raise awareness of specific projects
 * offer expert guidance to complement an organisation’s internal team.

 

Staff will also introduce new networks to beneficiary organisations to help them
widen their reach.

 

[Future Energy](https://www.future-energy.com/), which acquired its supply license
in April 2015, was set up “to support families in the North East” by helping them
to save money on their gas and electricity bills.

 

David Stroud, Managing Director of Future Energy, said: “Future Energy has always
aimed to be a community-focussed business, which shares its success with the people
of the North East. The newly launched Community Programme will enable us to do this
by supporting local projects and charity initiatives in a practical way that will
leave a lasting legacy.”

 

He added that, in terms of eligible organisations or ideas: “No project is too big,
or too small, as long as it benefits local people.”
