Affiliate Programme
Sustainable support.
Recurring revenue.
Help local businesses year-round — and earn commission while you do. A partnership built for enterprise support networks, chambers, councils and community organisations.
The Challenge
Business support cannot depend on funding cycles alone
Local enterprise support does vital work — but too often it is tied to grants that come and go. When programmes pause, so does trust.
Funding dependency
Many support organisations rely on short-term grants and project funding. When money runs out, services stop — and communities lose momentum.
Scarce resources
Business support needs sustained investment, but public funding is increasingly scarce. Teams are asked to deliver more impact with less certainty.
Conditional & seasonal support
Beneficiaries lose interest when help only appears while a grant is live. Conditional, seasonal programmes feel unreliable — and local businesses disengage.
Voice For Locals helps affiliates break that cycle — with ongoing value for communities and a recurring revenue stream for your organisation.
Why Become an Affiliate?
Deliver impact without waiting for the next grant
You already reach local businesses and shoppers every day. The affiliate programme turns that trusted relationship into lasting support — digitising high streets, rewarding residents and creating jobs — while generating commission you can reinvest in your community.
No more start-stop delivery. No more beneficiaries wondering whether you will still be there next quarter.
Built for organisations like yours
The Value
One platform. Four outcomes for your community.
Create local jobs
Upskill and employ local people to digitise high streets and handhold micro-businesses.
Digitise businesses
Give micro-businesses loyalty, insights and marketing tools previously reserved for big brands.
Reward shoppers
Help residents earn points and savings for shopping local — reducing cost of living pressures.
Activate high streets
Support car-free events, night markets, start-up fairs and community activations that drive footfall.
Benefits
What your organisation gains
New recurring revenue
Earn commission on business subscriptions, consumer sign-ups and high street events — building income that does not disappear when a grant ends.
Stronger member services
Offer your network digital tools, loyalty programmes and rewards that keep businesses and shoppers engaged all year round.
Long-term growth
Recurring commissions from ongoing referrals mean your organisation can plan beyond single funding rounds.
Deeper community impact
