We are the UK’s largest gas distribution network, bringing gas to 11 million homes and businesses. We manage a network of more than 82,000 miles of pipes, most of them underground, which transport gas throughout the North West, West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England and North London.
Our 6 chosen charities will each receive a £20,000 donation from the Cadent Foundation, which will then be topped up by our colleague fundraising over the next two years.

Essential engineering work in Hitchin will help keep residents connected to safe and reliable gas supplies for cooking and heating.
