Octopus referral code for good cause
I'm going to switch to Octopus in the near future. There is a scheme whereby if someone refers a new customer using a unique code, the referrer and the referree both get £50. I'm wondering whether there is an charity or good cause that has a referrer code so I can benefit them when I switch.

WHD Changes
Hope someone can help with this. My dad got the WHD paid by EON Next in March 2024, he didn’t get a letter to inform him this was being paid last year, so we assumed it wasn’t due to him being ineligible, so it was a nice surprise to get the payment! Cue this year, no letter again so called the WHD helpline to be told he’s…
