Who Are We? Our staff and pensioners have been contributing to the NIE Networks Charities Fund for more than 20 years and during that time in excess of £1million (including annual support from the company) has been distributed to local charities. The charities committee is made up of employees and pensioners and it meets quarterly to allocate funds. Donations to the fund are received directly via salaries or pensions.
