We are pleased to be continuing our partnership with Pocket Power, a social enterprise that specialises in helping customers find the best deals on a range of household bills.
Pocket Power’s free phone service saved our customers more than £44,000 in total in 2025/26, nearly doubling the savings of the year before.
We have been working together since 2023, and have recently extended our partnership until 2028.
In total, 333 Plus Dane customers were referred to Pocket Power in 2025/26, and they went on to help 152 people. This generated £44,297 in total identified savings, nearly double the £22,786 achieved in the previous year.
Our partnerships manager Usman Ashiq said: “We are really pleased to continue working with Pocket Power, as our customers have had some great outcomes in recent years. It’s a service that is really easy for people to use, which has a lot of advantages for people who don’t have the time or know-how to find better deals or tariffs on their bills, so can be a big help for all of our customers.”
Helen Burgess, managing director of Pocket Power, said: We’re delighted our partnership with Plus Dane has been extended for another two years. The continued pressure on bills and cost of living is placing huge pressure on households, and we will continue to save as much money for Plus Dane customers as we can to help reduce that pressure and build financial resilience. How much we save is important but it’s the impact it has on people’s wellbeing that is really important to us - knowing there's a little more money to pay the rent, the reassurance of being able to keep the heating on, and the confidence that comes from feeling more in control, rather than constantly worrying about how to make ends meet.”
While our customers made a total average saving of nearly £300, some saved more than £1000!
This included Chloe, who was helped in a number of different ways, including to set up a Help to Save account, with a 50% return on her savings (up to a maximum annual bonus of £300). Pocket Power also identified she could potentially save up to 30% on her car insurance by altering how her occupation title is listed, applied for a ‘Back on Track tariff’ with United Utilities that reduced her water bill, and managed to replace her faulty fridge freezer.
Plus Dane customers can arrange an appointment with Pocket Power by contacting engagement&partnerships@plusdane.co.uk or 0800 169 2988.
