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.

📍 Summary

The UW Connectors programme is a simple, free referral partnership where organisations and individuals:

Share Utility Warehouse with their network
Submit warm leads
Earn revenue each time someone switches services

It’s particularly effective as a fundraising initiative for community groups, charities or clubs because income is linked to helping others save money rather than traditional selling.
