Launched in February 2022, the Haringey Cost Savings Programme (HCSP) is a service that offers free cost savings advice and support for small businesses based across Haringey.
Business savings and support experts Place Support Partnership (PSP) have been appointed by Haringey Council to deliver The Haringey Cost Savings programme, which will help small business owners to survive and recover from the adverse impact of the pandemic.
This programme is funded as part of the Good Economy Recovery Plan and High Streets Recovery Action Plan (HSRAP). It will also support businesses to identify and realise savings when considering new contracts and choosing suppliers and help businesses to navigate the current energy crisis and achieve best value on services.
A pilot scheme run in Tottenham last year identified a total of £85,401 in savings for businesses within three months, of which £38,812 has been assisted upon and realised. The average saving per quote generated £1,267.50 for each business.
Since the launch of the current programme, small and micro-businesses across the borough have saved a combined £189,000 on their electricity, gas, water, and other costs.

Case Study - Victoria Stakes Pub
Christian, General Manager of Victoria Stakes Pub:
“I was contacted by Place Support Partnership to arrange a face-to-face meeting with their consultant Rishi. He was very knowledgeable about the current utility market, and the service was completely impartial.
"I found the information provided very clear and straightforward. I believe this service would be invaluable to businesses with less financial experience than us. At no time was any pressure applied and the advice was to stay with our current provider as they were offering the best deal. I would definitely be happy to use the service again.”
