In partnership with Utility Aid, a VODG partner, we are pleased to invite members to take part in the Utility Bill Review Clinic — a new initiative offering tailored, specialist guidance on utility matters relevant to the social care sector.
What is a Professional Advisory Clinic?
An advice clinic is a short, focused 20‑minute one‑to‑one session with a specialist. Think of it as “speed dating with an expert”: a dedicated appointment where you can bring your most pressing questions, test ideas, or explore whether a particular provider, service or approach may be the right fit for your organisation.
Advice Clinics are Ideal for:
- General enquiries on a particular theme or area of practice
- Clarifying specific challenges your organisation is facing
- Exploring opportunities, approaches or potential partnerships
- Gaining quick, practical guidance before committing to anything more in‑depth
Your conversation is confidential and completely tailored to your needs, ensuring you receive relevant, actionable insights within a short and efficient session.
About the Utility Bill Review Clinic:
- Reviewing utility bills and helping members better understand charges, tariffs and supplier arrangements.
- Identifying opportunities to reduce costs and improve value for money.
- Exploring common issues and queries relating to utility management.
- Discussing current market trends and considerations for social care providers.
- Highlighting the support and services available through Utility Aid.
- Open Q&A, allowing members to raise organisation-specific questions with experts.
