Hi,

Can suppliers allow customers to add a pound to their bills / DDs to donate to charity?

Er- good name. I am sure there are some charity related energy tariffs - I remember seeing them on price comparisons. I can't see any reason why the option wouldn't be permitted. Do you know of one?

Thanks :) Not sure. Looking for relevant regulations to help support this.
I'm not sure why regulations would be needed, energyqueen.

To ensure the company is compliant against their regulations?
You will find ( I think the answer is yes ) that it is a power ( energy companies can offer it if they want ) and not a duty ( you can make the energy companies dance to your tune )

yeah I have checked - you have entered this under 'Law'

and they MAY have a list you can choose from - which of course doesnt include your fave charity.

( you would be better off - I mean the charity better off - doing thro GiftAid which has some wowee ! tax reliefs attached )

Are you looking at this from the point of view of a charity, a customer or a supplier? I'm not really sure what the issue is. Thanks

I am looking at this form a supplier perspective.

As a customer, to see if a supplier is able to offer this?
erm in that case I think you ask each one
I've not seen one that adds a pound to your bill but I have seen some that costs a bit more as they include an amount that benefits a charity- eg Marie Curie
