Utilita Energy Hub bags over £225 for Hartlepool Ambulance Charity
Workers from a Hartlepool energy hub raised more than £225 for the Hartlepool Ambulance Charity after a bag‑packing day at Morrisons supermarket.
The team from Utilita Hartlepool Energy Hub, in York Road, which helps residents save money on their household bills, volunteered their time to support shoppers and raise vital funds for the charity that plays a crucial role in supporting emergency care across the town.
Energy hub supervisor Kristine Gorman, who the team on the day, said she was “blown away” by people’s generosity.
“Hartlepool always shows up for its own and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who stopped by, donated, or even just shared a kind word,” she said.
“Supporting the Hartlepool Ambulance Charity means supporting the people who look after us in our moments of greatest need, and we’re proud to play a small part in helping them continue their work.”
The fundraising event was part of the Hub’s ongoing commitment to supporting local community groups, grassroots initiatives, and charity partners throughout the year.
The Hartlepool team regularly takes part in local events, awareness campaigns, and volunteer activities aimed at strengthening community wellbeing.
Kristine added: “Our Hub is more than a place to get energy advice – it’s a place where we connect with the community. We’re always looking for ways to give back, and we’re already planning our next activity to support local causes.”
As well as helping residents to save money, it also provides a place for community groups to meet for free.
Residents and community groups interested in collaborating on future initiatives are encouraged to contact them, or email [email protected] to book the hub’s Community Room.
