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.

Yes. You apply for welfare support through the organisation that provides it, such as your local council, school, or charity. They decide who is eligible and how to apply. Huggg is the platform they use to send vouchers, not somewhere you apply for them.

To apply, contact the relevant organisation directly. Depending on what you need, you could 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, who can point you to support available in your area

Once you've found the right organisation, they can explain how to apply and what support may be available.
