Household Support Fund 6 (HSF6)
How the HSF6 is being distributed
Following the announcement of the Household Support Fund 6, Wiltshire Council reviewed allocations of previous funding and changes to government guidance to enable learning to be fed into this year's distribution of funding.
An open and transparent governance process has been set up to oversee the allocation of the funding to ensure that it meets the grant requirements.
The funding will be distributed both proactively and reactively through council departments and third sector organisations (TPOs) where there is an identified need.
How payments will be made
Households who are eligible for support may be offered a one-off payment either by, PayPoint or Post Office Cash Out voucher, PayPoint or Post Office Prepaid Legacy Meter vouchers or retail voucher from any of the schemes being run by the council or the third-party organisations (TPOs).
We are using software called Evouchers from a company called Wonde Limited to distribute vouchers.
For the purpose of delivering your voucher we need to share your name, email and mobile number with them. This will be undertaken securely, and your data will not be used or shared for any other purpose.
We will ask for your consent to do this before we process your voucher either directly or via our partner organisations, such as Julian House or CSE.

Vouchers may be in the form of a printed voucher, bar code on a letter or electronic voucher (Evoucher).
If you receive a letter, an email from 'evouchers.com' or text from 'Vouchers' this is valid, it is not spam.
