Can I apply for welfare vouchers or free food and shopping vouchers?

How to apply for welfare support vouchers including food vouchers, shopping vouchers, energy vouchers, and school support - and who to contact in your area.

Huggg doesn't manage applications or decide who is eligible for vouchers - that is entirely handled by the organisation distributing them, such as your local council, school, or a charity.

If you'd like to apply for welfare support, you'll need to contact the relevant organisation directly. Depending on what you need, you might try:

  • Your local council's website or welfare support team - search "[your council name] household support fund" or "[your council name] welfare vouchers"

  • Your child's school - for school uniform vouchers, free school meal support, or holiday hunger vouchers

  • A local food bank or charity - many distribute vouchers on behalf of councils

  • Citizens Advice - they can help point you to support available in your area


What Huggg can and can't help with

We're not able to advise on eligibility or make applications on your behalf. If you're unsure where to start, email us at support@huggg.me and we'll try to point you in the right direction.
