Utility Warehouse (UW) Connector Programme.

A simple fundraising and income opportunity for organisations

The Utility Warehouse (UW) Connector Programme offers organisations, community groups and businesses a straightforward way to raise funds or generate additional income by signposting people to Utility Warehouse’s essential household services.

There is no cost to join, no sales requirement, and no obligation to participate beyond sharing information where it may be helpful.

How the Connector Programme works

Organisations register as a UW Connector and receive a unique referral link or QR code.
This can be shared with members, customers, parents or supporters via newsletters, websites, emails or social media.

When someone chooses to switch their utilities through the referral link:

  • Utility Warehouse manages the entire process

  • No selling or customer service is required by the organisation

  • The organisation may receive a referral payment, often up to £150 per household, depending on the services selected

There is no limit on the number of referrals an organisation can make.

Why organisations use this as a fundraising option

Many organisations use the UW Connector Programme as a non-intrusive fundraising stream, because it:

  • Supports households to potentially reduce their utility costs

  • Requires no upfront investment

  • Does not involve product handling or event delivery

  • Can sit alongside existing fundraising activities

  • Works year-round rather than being time-limited

This makes it particularly attractive for organisations looking for low-effort, ethical income generation.

  • What is the UW Connector Programme?

    The UW Connector Programme allows schools and PTAs to share an optional cost-saving opportunity with families, while also creating a potential fundraising stream for the school or PTA.

    Families can choose to explore household utility services (such as energy, broadband and mobile). If a family independently decides to switch services, the school or PTA may receive a referral payment, at no cost to the family.

    How it works

    1. The school or PTA shares a referral link or QR code

    2. Families choose whether to explore utility services

    3. If a switch takes place, a referral payment may be received

    The school does not sell, advise on tariffs, or manage any part of the process.

    Why schools and PTAs use this option

    • No cost to join

    • No obligation for families

    • No selling or admin required

    • Can support PTA funds or school activities

    • Can be shared via newsletters or websites
