Independent Bedford oil supplier announces successful launch of Project Giving Back initiative

Your NRG, a leading community-focused oil supplier, is proud to announce the successful launch of its Project Giving Back initiative, which aims to support and uplift local communities.

In an overwhelming show of community spirit, the initiative received over 100 nominations in its debut month, highlighting the wide array of worthy causes within the local areas.

Sales director at Your NRG, Adam Newton, said: “(We) launched project Giving Back to show that we are the national fuel distributor that actually cares about each of the local communities that we serve.”

Designed to foster community engagement and support, Project Giving Back invites customers to nominate local causes and charities they believe deserve support.

February marked the campaign's inaugural run, culminating in a heartfelt participation from customers across the board. Given the numerous nominations, Your NRG had to create a shortlist of seven commendable causes in the Bedford area for a customer vote. The shortlist included:

• Kings Arms Project

• Midshires Search and Rescue

• Medical Detection Dogs

• Lasting Memories Cancer Charity

• Emmaus Village Carlton

• St Lawrence's Church Steppingley

• Houghton Conquest Garden Club

The community rallied behind these causes with enthusiasm, ultimately crowning Medical Detection Dogs as the winner for the month.

Newton continued: “I’m delighted to be here to give back the first of our charitable donations to the Medical Detection Dogs charity to help support their excellent work in saving people’s lives.”

Charlotte Richardson, corporate partnerships manager at Medical Detection Dogs, added: “It is wonderful to learn that we have been chosen as the winning charity.

“Our Medical Alert Assistance Dogs save the lives of our clients every day, and…if they could, they would give a big wet-nosed waggy-tailed thank you to everyone who voted – we appreciate every single one.”

Project Giving Back is set to continue, with Your NRG visiting different causes in various depot areas each month. This initiative seeks to highlight the company’s dedication to community welfare while spotlighting the vital work carried out by local charities and causes.
