Frequently Asked Questions
We will be honest and tell you, the best thing you can do it arrange a call back to find out! We are a not for profit so it is not our goal to “win your business”. We will, however, keep note of when your contracts are due and contact you closer to that time. We will ensure you do not automatically roll onto overpriced out of contract rates.
Other businesses offer support to reduce core running costs, many even offer it at no cost to your organisation – however, when they are paid a commission to place your charity or business with a new supplier, they will keep it for profit. One Unite Partnership (CIC) is different as we use our commission to generate grants that you can use for one-off or on-going projects that will stabilise or grow your organisation.

We will require recent bills as this will give us key information about your current contract and energy/telecoms usage. We will also require a “Soft Letter of Authority” (Soft LOA) which will enable us to speak to suppliers on your behalf but not make any changes without your written permission. Meaning you have control at all times.
Yes possibly, although you will only need to apply once. Just mention to your specialist advisor that you have multiple premises or when you move/purchase a new one to receive additional grants.
Put simply, we fund the grants out of the profits we make from brokering utilities & telecoms deals. While other companies keep their commissions as profits, we use them to create grants for charities & businesses. This means your grant size is completely proportionate to your energy and telecoms usage.
We receive no government funding.
