Time is running out for numerous households to secure £100 worth of supermarket vouchers.
Nottingham City Council is offering these vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund, with the deadline for applications set at midnight.
Although specific eligibility criteria have not been disclosed by the council, it is anticipated that individuals with low income or receiving benefits will qualify. Applications can be submitted through the Nottingham City Council website.
The council aims to notify applicants via email by December 12, but the actual receipt of the voucher may extend until February 28, 2026.
A total of 10,000 vouchers will be distributed randomly to successful households, rather than on a first-come, first-served basis. Even if a voucher was received from the council in April 2025, households can still apply.
