RNLI supporters could save themselves an average of £233* on household energy bills at the same time as helping to raise valuable funds for the charity that saves lives at sea.
Sound too good to be true?
The RNLI has teamed up with Switch with Which?, the only not-for-profit energy price comparison website in the UK. Switch with Which? compares thousands of tariff and payment options on both gas and electricity services offering what it calls ‘a transparent and impartial view of all their energy options’.
There’s no obligation to switch suppliers after comparing prices with Switch with Which? but those that do won’t be the only ones to benefit from this new partnership – for every supporter who changes their energy supplier, UK consumer association Which? will donate £10 to the RNLI. What’s more, anyone who switches both their gas and electricity suppliers will be guaranteeing a donation of £20 to the RNLI.
Clare Caunt, National Corporate Fundraising Manager for the RNLI, says:
‘As energy prices continue to rise, this partnership gives our supporters the opportunity to raise funds for the charity and potentially make savings themselves, an excellent initiative for all.’
With fuel prices set to rise again as Winter sets in, what better time to explore what’s available at switchwithwhich.co.uk/rnli or by call 0800 533 031 (quoting RNLI).
