Cadent Foundation

The Cadent Foundation was established as a Donor Advised fund in July 2019, funded from a share of the profits of Cadent Gas, the country’s largest gas distribution network.

Cadent operates across some of the most disadvantaged areas in the country. In fact, eight out of the top ten most deprived local authority districts in England are situated within Cadent’s network. This means that millions of people are facing daily struggles due to low income, inadequate housing and barriers to accessing support services.

As a utility company, Cadent is uniquely placed to see the real-life impact fuel poverty and low energy efficiency has on the people in our communities. The Cadent Foundation was set up to help play a part in addressing these inequalities.

The Cadent Foundation has been working with charities and partners since 2019. Our aim is to help households find sustainable solutions to fuel poverty and ensure people are safe and warm in their homes.

By working with charitable organisations we strive to help households improve their financial wellbeing and become more energy efficient through advice, support and practical measures.

The Cadent Foundation is administered by Charities Trust (Charity Registration No: 327489) who we work with to manage the grant giving and ensure that all funds donated by the Foundation are only used to further charitable purposes for the public benefit.
