I think it's fair to say that in most cases the third sector is doing more with less. Daily pressures that every organisation faces such as staffing and volunteer management have only been exacerbated by the cost of living crisis, energy crisis and of course Covid-19. We understand that staff and volunteers alike are time-poor and with this in mind, we want to make our services more accessible and compatible with flexi/volunteering hours.

Introducing Utility Aid’s New Online Switching Service
Our new switching site service enables users to get instant access to commercial utility quotations from a list of reliable credit-vetted suppliers at any time. You can easily shop around for a new deal and carry out a full supplier switch. Have a question? Or need some support? You will have access to our chat function where you can speak with one of our Energy Specialists online between 9-5 pm.
