Things are getting delightfully sweet in Newport this April as Utilita Energy launches its Easter Charity Tombola at the Isle of Wight’s exclusive high street energy hub.
Running from Monday to Thursday (14th to 17th April), this egg-citing competition is all in aid of Utilita Giving – an independent charity dedicated to alleviating and preventing the hardship caused by fuel and food poverty.
For just £1 a ticket, hub visitors can enter the tombola for a chance to win Easter Eggs and a whole range of locally sourced prizes, all while supporting a truly worthy cause.
Every ticket sold helps Utilita Giving continue its vital work. And let’s not forget – as well as Easter Eggs, the hub’s tombola is choc-a-bloc with locally sourced goodies:
- £50 Wightlink voucher
- £25 Graces Bakery voucher
- £20 Dinosaur Isle family ticket (2 adults and 3 children)
- £20 Garlic Farm voucher
- Needles Pleasure Cruises family ticket (2 adults and 2 children)
- Isle of Wight Cheese Company – medley of cheeses
Newport Hub Supervisor, Simon Jackson, says:
“Everyone deserves a treat this Easter, and we’re proud to be supporting Utilita Giving with our prize tombola. It couldn’t be easier for local businesses to donate prizes to support this vital cause.
“The rising costs of living and reduced public funding have made food and fuel poverty worse across the Island and we’re immensely grateful to the local business community for helping us raise awareness of this critical issue.
“Eggs and prizes can be dropped off at the hub at any time. We’ve already received lots of donations from our customers and Island businesses, and we’d love for our neighbours and local residents to support the collection for Utilita Giving. Please don’t delay; drop in your Easter Egg or prizes today.”

Utilita officially opened the Island’s first high street Energy Hub in March 2020 as part of its drive to have more face-to-face conversations with people about how to make their energy go further and pay less, and it’s been providing vital community support ever since.
The Utilita Energy Hub is open from Monday to Saturday at 121 High St, Newport, Isle of Wight, PO30 1TP (closed Bank Holidays).
