Thousands of households in Nottingham have only hours left to apply for a £100 supermarket voucher as part of the Household Support Fund. The deadline is midnight tonight, with 10,000 vouchers to be awarded randomly to successful applicants.
Nottingham City Council has not specified exact eligibility criteria, but the vouchers are likely aimed at those on low incomes or benefits. Applications can be made via the council's website, and successful applicants will be notified by email by December 12, though vouchers may not arrive until February 28, 2026.
Councillor Cheryl Barnard, Executive Member for Children, Young People and Education, said: “I’m really pleased that a further £1m of support has been made available to the most vulnerable residents in Nottingham to help with bills over the winter months.” She added that the funding aims to ease the burden during a time of higher costs.
The Household Support Fund provides £742 million to local councils in England to assist vulnerable households with essential costs like energy and food. Other councils, such as Wakefield and Blackpool, are also distributing vouchers and energy bill support to eligible residents.
Nottingham residents who have already received a voucher from the council since April 2025 are still eligible to apply. The council encourages those struggling financially to seek further advice and support through its website.
