Add non breaking space within razor helper method

Question

How can I include a non-breaking space ( ) within a Razor helper method? Here's the helper in question:

@helper RenderClipResult(Clip clip, IList<string> searchTerms)
{
    <div class="result">
        <!-- other clip stuff -->
        @if (clip.ThirdPartyMaterials != null && clip.ThirdPartyMaterials.Count > 0)
        {
            <p>
                <span class="heading">Third Party Material</span><br/>
                @foreach (var material in clip.ThirdPartyMaterials)
                {
                    &nbsp; @AddElement("Description", material.Description, searchTerms) @AddElement("Cost", material.Cost, searchTerms)
                    <br />
                }
            </p>
        }
    </div>
}

AddElement is another custom helper. The output I'm looking for is something like this:

Third Party Material
 first entry
 second entry
 third entry

I could wrap the AddElement line in a span tag for styling but it's another html tag and css rule, just to indent some text by a single character width. Might have to go that way as Razor is not able to parse the space

Add @: before your non-breaking space html code
