Grid for Good is National Grid’s new community investment programme for young people and Catch22 is one of the first UK based organisations to become a charity partner.

The charity will recruit young people aged 16 to 30 from its networks to participate in the programme and support them in gaining an insight into the world of work and the energy industry.
