eaga Charitable Trust

The independent eaga Charitable Trust (eaga-CT) is a grant-giving trust that currently supports projects and research in two main areas: the relief of fuel poverty and the promotion of energy efficiency; and vulnerable consumers - multiple needs and preferences.

The Trust was founded by eaga Partnership Ltd in 1993. Established as a non-profit distributing organisation in 1990, eaga is now a Public Limited Company with a 51% employee ownership, delivering programmes across the UK on behalf of central government, the devolved administrations, utilities and local authorities.

Since the inception of eaga Charitable Trust, eaga has donated over £3.1 million to the Trust, which the Trust has used to give grants for action and research projects into the causes of fuel poverty and its impacts on health.

Although eaga continues to be its sole funder, eaga Charitable Trust is an independent body which exists separately from eaga. eaga-CT has no involvement with the operations of eaga or any other eaga companies.

The Board of Trustees

The eight Trustees who make up the Trust Board have considerable knowledge of economic, energy and social policy issues. Board members have advised Parliamentary Select Committees and worked in, or advised, Government departments. The Trust's Chair is Virginia Graham and the Trust's Manager is Naomi Brown.

Trustees consider all final applications at formal Trust meetings which are held three times a year.
