Our Christmas Voucher Scheme 2025 is now open for applications.
The scheme provides supermarket vouchers to support Chippenham residents on low incomes, helping to reduce financial pressures at Christmas and over the winter months.
Last year, we fully funded the scheme using our charity’s own resources, awarding a total of £46,475 in supermarket vouchers to 315 local households. The impact of this support was clear from the feedback we received:
“I’m elderly and disabled, living in a one-bed flat with storage heaters… this payment means I can afford to up the heating and be more comfortable this winter. I even heated a full tank of water and had my first proper bath in two years. Thank you so much.”
“It means so much to us – as a low-income family, Christmas is always stressful rather than joyful. This voucher has given us the funds we need to relax a little and give our girls a wonderful Christmas.”
“As a single working mum, I’ve always had to put Christmas treats back on the shelf as I couldn’t afford them. Now I can fill my cupboards and even buy a few extras for my children. I’m so grateful.”
“The CBLC voucher has really taken the pressure off, especially with the rising cost of living. Thank you, this is much appreciated.”
How to Apply
- Applications are now open.
- The closing date is Friday 14th November or until funds are used up, whichever comes first.
- Applicants begin with a short eligibility quiz, followed by a simple application form if eligible.
We encourage early applications as demand is usually high. Please also help us spread the word so that more Chippenham residents who may benefit know about the scheme.
