Charity update 2025.

This year we have had a change up with our charities that we fundraise for. Since 2013 we have fundraised £16,600 for charity between Cancer Research and St Raphael’s Hospice. This year we have decided to change the charities we fundraise for.

We will be sticking with St Raphael’s Hospice due to the relationship we have with them and as a local charity very close to us as a company. But we have decided to change from Cancer Research UK to more specific Cancer charities. This year we will be fundraising for Brain Tumour Awareness and Children with Cancer UK.

As usual we will continue with events, donation collections and various other initiatives to raise money for these charities. If anyone would like to help in any way or make a donation then please get in touch with us.

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2025!

A year in summary.

As another year comes to an end for us we look back at what’s been a very busy year. We want to thank all our staff, customers, suppliers and everyone involved with the business and we look forward to what 2025 has to offer. As usual we will look to improve where we can within the business to provide the best service possible.

We want to wish everyone a Happy New year and a successful 2025!

The NW Electrical charity match 2024!

We held our charity match on the 12th May and once again was a fantastic event, our 9th charity match now and it shows no signs of slowing down. The match was great and what ended in a 2-2 draw went to a dramatic penalty shootout. We raised another £1400 for our nominated charities St Raphael’s Hospice and Cancer Research UK. A huge thank you to everyone involved in the organising, the players and all that came down to support.

This now takes our overall fundraising tally to £16,000 since we started fundraising back in 2014. We have no interest in stopping here and are already planning new initiatives and next year which will be our 10th match, so its going to be a big one. Watch this space!

If you are keen to get involved, want to donate to our nominated charities or want to know more about what we do as a company then get in touch or fill out one of our enquiry forms!

Charity events and updates March 24.

On May 12th we are holding our annual charity football match which will be our 9th event spanning 11 years now. Its always been a successful event and we are really excited to host again at Surrey Sports park. This year we are aiming to cross the £15,000 mark since we started fundraising. We will be once again raising funds for Cancer Research UK and St Raphael’s Hospice. All are welcome along as its free to attend, only ask for donations.

This year one of our directors Neil is undertaking a dry 2024. The plan is no consumption of alcohol for 2024 to raise funds for St Raphael’s Hospice. Neil’s dad had a brief stay at St Raphael’s before passing away in February 2020 and we have been raising funds for them ever since. If anyone would like to donate to either cause or be a part of the events then please get in touch. The JustGiving link for St Raphael’s is below and if you would like to find out more or think you can help in any way then please get in touch.

Call out/hourly rate increase (Jan 24)

We have maintained our hourly rates for 2 years to be as fair to customers as possible, however due to the ongoing cost of living situation and material increases which unfortunately haven’t started to fall, we have had to slightly increase our hourly rates. These now will be £80.00 for the first hour and £60.00 for the following hours + VAT. We like to remain as transparent as possible with our pricing, so there are never surprise costs.

We feel these are in line to keep competitive within the market and reflect the service we provide. Quotations can still be carried out to provide an accurate cost for works being carried out.

ST Raphael's JustGiving link

We have created our brand new company St Raphael’s JustGiving link to make donating easier for anyone who may wish to do so.

St Raphael’s carry out incredible care and end of life care for patients and amazing support for their loved ones at such a difficult time. We have been fundraising for St Raphael’s for nearly 4 years after Neil, one of our directors father passed away. He spent nearly 2 weeks there and seeing the care first hand was inspiring. If you would like to donate to a truly deserving cause then follow the link below!

Monthly customer donation update

We are 7 months in to our customer donation initiative and its really working well. Its providing a good relationship with us and our customers and most importantly some wonderful charities are getting donations. In the 7 months so far we have had £20 go to each of these charities:

  • Alzheimer’s Society

  • Macmillan Cancer Support

  • Great Ormond Street Hospital

  • Fauna & Flora

  • CentrePoint UK

  • Ronald Mcdonald House Charities

  • Rainbow Trust

Elderly and vulnerable discount

Over the winter period we are offering discounted call outs for elderly and more vulnerable people for both electrical issues but also more minor jobs that people might be struggling with or finding it difficult to find someone. We are hoping it will provide some peace of mind and relief during a financially uncertain time.

If you have an elderly relative or someone who lives on their own then feel free to pass on our details for friendly, approachable engineers who will be able to help.
