Staff normally based at Utilita’s Energy Hub in Newport have signed up to take part in the ‘Future Steps’ campaign – a 10,000 steps-a-day challenge during the month of February to raise vital funds for The Prince’s Trust.
With unemployment amongst people aged 16 to 24 at its highest levels in two years, Utilita Energy is powering The Prince’s Trust Future Steps campaign, to enable the charity to give young people hope for the future by helping them to develop the skills and confidence needed to move into work, education or training.
4 staff from the Energy Hub in Newport – who have been aptly named the ‘Energy High 5 Steppers’ – will each clock up 10,000 steps for 28 consecutive days throughout February, resulting in 40,000 steps a day and a massive 1.1million steps in total by the end of the month.
Katherine Allen, Team Leader of the ‘Energy High 5 Steppers’ from the Utilita Energy Hub in Newport, said:
“With so many young people’s lives disrupted and impacted by the pandemic, their education or career plans may have been put on hold, so it’s important that the support they need to confidently get back on track is there when they need it most.
“We’ll be telling the customers we speak to about the campaign, as well as educating each customer about the Energy High 5 campaign – helping every household to reduce their energy spend by £163 per year.”
