OUR COMMUNITY

Spalding Energy in the community

After undertaking a Community Needs Assessment, Spalding Energy has identified employment diversification and the potential loss of young talented people from the area, education and road safety as the main significant regional issues.

Education

Spalding Energy has fostered strong educational links with the community. A bespoke education programme ‘Norm’s World’ has been developed with an educational expert to deliver a workshop based on the UK national curriculum. This programme runs throughout the year with the local primary schools.

Road Safety

Spalding Energy supports the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership. The Partnership sees engineers, police officers, probation officers, health advisers and council officials combine resources, skills and knowledge to work together to try to improve road safety in the county that, prior to the project being formed, Lincolnshire had one of the worst Killed and Serious Injured records in Europe per head of population. Spalding Energy has provided the partnership with a vehicle to enable their important road safety messages to be delivered across the county. The links with the partnership have been further strengthened by a bespoke display and meeting vehicle that will allow smaller businesses, communities and education establishments to be visited.

Training

Spalding Energy is committed to the development of an apprenticeship-training program that sponsors local students to attend college; train onsite with highly trained technicians and Engineers and develop skills in preparation for opportunities both within Spalding Energy and the employment market.
