Residents have the opportunity to get their hands on vouchers that can be used to pay for groceries, clothing and essential household items.
Rossendale Borough Council has chosen to partner with Huggg, the specialist platform which allows organisations to send and manage retail vouchers at scale to those in need, to get help and support out to vulnerable people in the community through its Household Support Fund allocation.
“We had been providing food parcels or in some cases making cash payments which were problematic in terms of safety and accountability. We had struggled to find a provider that was willing to listen to our needs and provide us with a viable solution until we found Huggg. The partnership will mean that the Council will no longer need to process these vouchers manually, saving admin time and getting help to those in need quickly. The vouchers can be sent out in bulk, rather than individually, getting help to those in need at scale.
