In recent months, team members from one of Eastern Green Link 1 (EGL1)’s principal contractors, the Murphy Group, have been working closely with local school Ribbon Academy to support underprivileged children and families.
This work has included donating shopping and food parcels, as well as providing a £200 food voucher for families of schoolchildren in need. Alongside this, National Grid also pledged to donate £100 in vouchers to families each week.
Commenting on the donations, Ribbon Academy stated, “We’d like to extend a huge thank you to the Murphy Group for their generous donation of food parcels to support families at Ribbon Academy. Their kindness and community spirit is very much appreciated.”
The initiative reflects EGL1’s ongoing commitment to engaging with local schools and communities, ensuring the project delivers a positive and lasting legacy alongside nationally significant energy infrastructure.
