We're here to lend a helping hand

At SSEN Transmission, we are committed to supporting the communities in the north of Scotland where we operate, both now and in the future. As part of our ongoing efforts to make a difference and have a positive impact on local communities, we are proud to offer volunteering days to local groups and charities, particularly in the areas that host our electricity infrastructure or where our proposed projects are located. This commitment aligns with our broader Sustainability Strategy, which aims to deliver a network for net zero in a just and sustainable way, and to leave a legacy of thriving people and places.

Why we volunteer

Simply put, we believe in being an active and supportive part of the communities we serve. We are particularly keen to offer skilled volunteering, where our team can lend their expertise to local initiatives. This could include offering professional advice, social media guidance, or creating content for websites or marketing materials. We are also happy to help with business planning, or to support sustainability efforts.

We also offer opportunities for physical volunteering, such as participating in beach cleans, tree planting, or community gardening, contributing to the well-being of the local environment.
