Powering People is a partnership project between NICRE and Community Action Northumberland (CAN). It aims to provide practical support and advocacy for households in Northumberland who are living off the electricity grid, whilst also building evidence to inform wider change.
NICRE's role in the project includes bringing together existing research, tools and case studies, facilitating development of new resources and community solutions, supporting knowledge exchange and helping to ensure that the experiences of off-grid households are reflected in innovation and decision-making.
NICRE and CAN are hosting a webinar providing an opportunity to explore research insights, lived experiences and practical solutions relating to off-electricity grid households.
We hope the event will help build a nationwide network to continue to share learning and strengthen the case for better policy and support for these communities.
If you live off the electricity grid, provide energy or fuel poverty advice, or work in the energy sector as a researcher, policymaker or practitioner, we’d love you to be part of the conversation.
I am Project Development and Delivery Manager at NICRE, working on our innovation projects and facilitating the development of new partnerships to support future work. Prior to joining NICRE I was a member of the senior leadership team at a national youth charity. I was responsible for its delivery partnerships with regional teams across the UK and volunteers overseas. I've been a consultant specialising in leadership and organisational development and held a range of charity sector roles spanning policy, operations, project management, communications and user involvement. Building and supporting collaboration and partnerships has been a core theme throughout my career. I'm excited to be part of the work NICRE does to facilitate this for rural businesses and communities. I also have a strong track record of project planning, delivery and evaluation: from managing large scale leadership development programmes for regional, national and international clients, to assuring effective delivery of a portfolio of externally-funded strategic change projects within the charity sector.
