This collaboration marks a significant commitment from NGN to leverage its industry leadership and resources in breaking down systemic barriers, ensuring equal opportunities for all.

The Breaking Down Barriers Commission, under the leadership of Nick Forbes CBE, is dedicated to transforming the role of businesses and organisations into catalysts for societal change. By joining forces with the Commission, NGN embarks on an innovative journey to enhance accessibility and create equal opportunities within the communities it serves.

Nick Forbes CBE, Chair of the Breaking Down Barriers Commission and a former Member of Keir Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet said: “The collaboration with Northern Gas Networks is a milestone in our mission to create a more inclusive society.
