Lodging House Mission not only want to reach people who need their services; they want to work towards a larger goal - to sustain, improve and strengthen the services they offer. One example of their remarkable work is their annual provision of 45,000 hot meals to those in need. A powerful illustration of the work Lodging House Mission does that the people of Glasgow love. 

However, Lodging House Mission relies on fundraising and donations to continue their work, therefore, clever financial decisions and meticulous planning are paramount for the charity's success. 

The charity wanted to reduce their energy expenditure to invest more into frontline services. But, like many charities, they didn't have the time or expertise to search the market and make the switch to a better supplier. 

So, how could we (Utility Aid) help Lodging House Mission to save their resources and bring more good to their service users?

Our specialist used knowledge, insight and dedication to source the best deal available for the needs of the charity. Their contracts were aligned to our National Charity Tender allowing them to benefit from Group Purchasing where contracts are approximately 10% less than the market price. 

The National Charity Tender is a group of hundreds of organisations who have a common end date with The SIMPLE Energy Contract. This has been growing year on year with over 4000 charity meters and millions upon millions of kilowatts of energy grouped together to protect third sector organisations from future energy costs.
