According to the latest ONS Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, people who volunteer their time to support The Bread and Butter Thing are amongst the most dedicated 17% of adults in the UK.

TBBT, with its dedicated teams of volunteers in Greater Manchester and Darlington, has been awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK - the equivalent of an MBE.

As well as keeping power flowing across the region, key workers from Electricity North West are also working as volunteers to ensure people across Greater Manchester don’t go without food.
