If you're looking for easy fundraising ideas, you may be surprised to discover that one of the simplest doesn't involve organising raffles, coffee mornings or sponsored events.
Whether you're a charity, sports club, PTA, community group or even a local business, the Utility Warehouse Connector Scheme can provide an additional source of income with very little effort.
What is the Utility Warehouse Connector Scheme?
Rather than simply asking people to donate, the Connector Scheme gives your supporters the opportunity to save money on their own household bills through Utility Warehouse while helping to raise funds for your organisation at the same time.
Utility Warehouse provides a range of household services, including:
- Gas and electricity
- Broadband
- Mobile
- Home insurance
The Connector Scheme allows organisations to introduce potential customers to Utility Warehouse without needing to do any of the admin themselves. That's where I come in; I manage the whole process from quote through to switching and the Connector earns commission in return for the introduction.
If you'd like to know a little more about me and how I work, please take a look at the Home page of my website The Utility Advisor.
How does the Connector Scheme work?
It's incredibly straightforward.
- Mention Utility Warehouse to people you know.
- Share your unique Connector link with anyone who'd like to find out more.
- They contact me directly through your link.
- I take care of absolutely everything from there.
I speak to them about their current household bills, answer any questions they have and explain how much money they could save through Utility Warehouse.
If they decide it's a good fit, I manage the entire switching process.
You don't need to answer technical questions, complete paperwork or chase anyone. You simply make the introduction.
What could you earn?
Connectors earn up to £150 per successful referral, depending on the combination of services the new customer chooses.
For charities, that could mean additional income without arranging fundraising events.
For sports clubs, it could help pay for new equipment.
For PTAs, it could contribute towards school projects.
For local businesses, it could provide a useful additional income stream.
Who could benefit?
The Connector Scheme is ideal for:
- Charities
- Animal rescue organisations
- PTAs
- Sports clubs
- Churches
- Community groups
- Local businesses
- Tradespeople
- Hairdressers
- Estate agents
- Mortgage advisers
- Anyone with a wide network of friends, family or customers.
If people regularly ask you for recommendations, becoming a Connector can be a very natural extension of those conversations.
Is there any selling involved?
One of the biggest misconceptions is that Connectors have to become salespeople. They don't.
Your role is simply to introduce people who are interested. Once they get in touch, I deal with everything else—from the initial conversation right through to any switching if they decide to become a customer.
If you're wondering what happens during that process, you might find my blog "What Happens When I Do a UW Quote?" helpful, as it explains exactly how I work and what customers can expect.
Why the Connector Scheme is great for fundraising
One of the reasons I enjoy introducing people to the Connector Scheme is because it can genuinely help organisations that rely on fundraising.
Charities such as animal rescues, village organisations and community groups often have large numbers of loyal supporters. Simply mentioning Utility Warehouse in a newsletter, on a website, on social media or at events can create a steady stream of introductions without asking supporters to buy raffle tickets or attend fundraising events.
It's fundraising that continues working quietly in the background.
