MiHC Cymru were proud to receive the award for our partnership with Western Power Distribution (WPD).

WPD also won the award for ‘Business of the Year’ for their inspiration work with 9 Arts Organisations across Wales, where projects focus on reaching a target market and raising awareness of its Priority Services Register for vulnerable customers.
